How to Download Your Shipping Document and Invoice

Once your package has shipped, you can download a Shipping Document as a PDF from your Blackship account. It includes an invoice for the fees Blackship charged and your own customs declaration, which is often needed for customs clearance in your destination country.

The document is split into clearly distinct parts, including your shipment details.

At the top, you'll find the key information for your shipment:

• Package number and mailbox number

• Ship date and date issued

• Shipping method and tracking number

• Exporter Tax ID, reason for export, and incoterms

• The recipient's name and address

This is an invoice for the fees you paid Blackship, which may include:

• Shipping

• Service requests (e.g., Consolidation)

• Storage

It also shows the total paid.

This section lists the items and values you declared for customs, including each item's description, composition, country of origin, HS code, quantity, unit value, and total value.

⚠️ Important: this part is your own self-declaration, not an invoice. Blackship does not sell your items and receives no payment for them, so these are the values you entered yourself. Customs may ask for proof of purchase, so we recommend keeping your own receipts or order confirmations from the original sellers.

1. Log in to your Blackship account.

2. Go to Shipments.

3. Open the Shipped tab.

4. Select the package you want by its package number.

5. Click Download Shipping Document.

Your Shipping Document becomes available once your package has shipped, so you'll always find it under the Shipped tab.

• For customs clearance in your destination country.

• As a record of the Blackship fees you paid for the shipment.
