The International Invoice is a fundamental document in cross-border trade, specifically designed to comply with Swiss law and international commercial standards. It is used when a business based in Switzerland or a foreign entity choosing Swiss law needs to bill customers internationally for goods or services. The document must conform to the Swiss Code of Obligations, Swiss VAT Act, and international trade regulations, including requirements for content, format, and mandatory disclosures. This type of invoice is particularly important as it serves multiple purposes: a payment request, a tax document, a customs declaration support document, and potential evidence in case of legal disputes. The International Invoice includes comprehensive details about the transaction, parties involved, payment terms, and tax implications, while ensuring compliance with both domestic Swiss requirements and international trade practices.
