Which flow?
Crossborder Docs is built for small sellers and operators who keep rebuilding shipping documents in spreadsheets, old PDFs, or copied templates. The goal is to make common paperwork faster to repeat and easier to review before export.
Right now, the tool covers three document types for common international shipping paperwork. It does not store a full account history, and it does not replace legal, tax, customs, or carrier guidance.
Use this when you need declared value, buyer and seller details, and line items for international shipping paperwork.
Start a commercial invoice →Use this when you need a buyer-facing draft with quoted values before the final commercial invoice is issued.
Start a proforma invoice →Use this when you need a clean list of what is packed, counted, and shipped in each order.
Start a packing list →These documents overlap on names, addresses, and line items, but each one answers a different shipment question.
Start with a commercial invoice when the open question is about declared value, goods description, and who sold what to whom. It is usually the customs-facing document in the set.
Start with a proforma invoice when the shipment is still at quote or approval stage and the buyer needs a draft before the final invoice exists.
Start with a packing list when the open question is physical: what is inside the shipment, how quantities are counted, and what a warehouse or receiving team should see at handoff.
If the shipment may need more than one of these, start with the FAQ or jump directly to the commercial invoice generator, proforma invoice generator, and packing list generator.
The pain is usually not creating a PDF. The pain is catching wrong shipment details before the file has already been shared.
For many small teams, these documents are still created by copying an old invoice, editing a spreadsheet, or manually fixing layout issues in a word processor. That usually works until someone notices the wrong consignee, missing quantity, mismatched value, or an outdated reference number after the file has already been shared.
Crossborder Docs is meant for that narrow but recurring workflow. Enter the core shipment details, review the draft in the browser, and export a clean PDF without treating document formatting as a separate task. It will not replace customs judgment or lane-specific checks, but it can remove a lot of repetitive document cleanup from the process.
If the same shipment needs more than one document, keep the descriptions, quantities, references, and party details aligned. That is the practical difference between a useful shipping document set and three unrelated PDF files.
Use a commercial invoice for final declared value, a proforma invoice for a buyer-facing draft before the sale is confirmed, and a packing list when handlers need to see what is packed and how quantities are counted.
Sender, recipient, document number, date, and your line items. You do not need an account to use the tool.
Yes. This is for international shipping paperwork, not general client billing. Use it when a carrier, customs flow, buyer, or warehouse needs a commercial invoice, proforma invoice, or packing list draft.
If you are not sure which document you need, or want to check what goes in each field, these pages have the short version.

A lightweight email list for new generators, important fixes, and shipping document updates.
The goal is not to start a newsletter business. It is to keep a small list of people who want to hear when a new document generator, a major workflow fix, or a useful guide is added.
If this project does not keep improving, the list should stay quiet. If it does improve, this is the simplest way to know without creating an account.
