Commercial Invoice
The Commercial Invoice (CI) is the most common document required to clear non-document packages
through Customs. Typically, three copies of the CI are required for package clearance. FSMS allows you
to create your own CI and file the information with the appropriate Customs office (by submitting field 113
as N) or you may have FSMS create and upload the CI information for you (field 113 = Y). If you create
your own CI, the following business rules apply:
Commodity Rules: (Total Customs Value = TCV)
• Commodity information is shipment level information and NOT package level information. FedEx only
requires commodity information for the shipment as a whole and does not require per package
commodity information. For example, if the same commodity is in multiple packages, the commodity
quantity would be the sum of that commodity in all packages, e.g. three packages with 10
commodities in each is a total of thirty commodities and the entry in field 82, for that specific
commodity, should be 30.
• If the customer is creating and filing the CI (field 113 = N), the following commodity fields are the
minimum required:
• 79 – Commodity Description
• 80 – Country of Manufacture
• If the customer is creating and filing the CI (field 113 = N) and not processing the shipment via Open
Shipping, field 119 (TCV) is required if fields 82 and 1030 are not used.
• If the customer is creating and filing the CI (field 113 = N) and processing the shipment via Open
Shipping, field 119 (TCV) is required in the Create transaction, even if it is inaccurate, if commodity
fields 82 and 1030 are not being used. If field 119 was not included in the Create transaction and
fields 82 and 1030 were not used, the transaction will fail at Confirm and the shipment will have to be
deleted and re-entered. The TCV can be edited at any time prior to the Confirm transaction if
provided in the Create transaction.
• If the customer is creating and filing the CI (field 113 = N) and field 119 (TCV) was not included in the
Create transaction, and fields 82 and 1030 or field 78 are being used to derive TCV, the TCV cannot
be overridden in the Confirm transaction. The TCV can only be overridden in Open Shipping IF it was
included in the Create transaction.
• If FedEx is creating and filing the CI (field 113 = Y), the following commodity fields are required:
• 77 – Commodity Line Item Weight
• 78* – Commodity Customs Value
• 79 – Commodity Description
• 80 – Country of Manufacture
