Фрагмент из книги:
The invoice is an important document in the export trade, as copies may be required by banks, export/import agents, shipping companies, customs authorities, and consulates. The invoice will be sent to the customer by post, or through an agent or a bank. In the case of single or isolated transactions, payment is then required, either before delivery or on delivery of the goods. The buyer receives an invoice on or after delivery which describes the goods delivered, the amount to be paid and the period within which the invoice must be paid (e.g. 14 days). This method of payment is called payment on invoice.
