How to Itemise Your Invoice

This guide walks you through how to properly itemise your shipping invoice on Terminal Africa.

In this guide, we will be booking a shipment with 3 different times (a pair of white shoes, a brown leather bag and a fictional book). Now let’s book the shipment and itemise it properly.

Step 1

Log into your Terminal Africa account here: https://dashboard.terminal.africa/auth/login

Step 2

On your dashboard, click on the book shipment button to start the booking process.

Step 3

Add the sender and receiver’s addresses.

Step 4

Select a packaging and click on the Add item button.

Step 5

Under “Item name”, type the name of only one of the items you want to send. Choose the right HS Code that describes the item.

Note: DO NOT write all the items in your packaging box you want to ship at once.

Step 6

Add the correct weight and value of that specific item.

Step 7

Save the item and click on the “add item button again to add the next item that you want to ship.

Note: If there are other items you want to send in another packaging box to the same address, you will use the multi-parcel feature. Use this guide instead.
