Do I need to include a proforma invoice with my shipment?

For shipments from outside the EU:

Yes, you must include a proforma invoice (example here) with your shipment if you are sending samples from outside the European Union. The carrier may ask for it when the package is sent. For customs purposes, you should declare a minimal value, typically €1 or $1 per sample, to avoid excessive import taxes. This document is essential for customs clearance and should be:

• Attached to the outside of the package (not placed inside)
• Clearly visible for customs officials
• Printed rather than handwritten (though tracking numbers and certain details may be added by hand if necessary)
• Please send a copy to us at team@momentum-transfer.com

For shipments within the EU:

No proforma invoice is required for shipments between EU member states, as these are considered internal transfers within the single market.
