Commercial invoice required error, not sure if i filled out the form correctly
Hi!! So i have a package coming from Canada with handmade jewelry my friend made. She sent the package right from her local fedex and she said they had her fill out a bunch of forms
I got the error on tracking last night that says "Commercial invoice required".
I called fedex this morning and they had me fill out the comm. invoice from their website, but im worried i didn't fill it out correctly. I did the best i could and described the items in the box, who it was sent from.
My friend isn't a business though and she just made this stuff for me as friends, though i did pay 1000$ usd, so i made sure to put that on the paper.
I dont have her tax information though so i left that as other and then wrote canada. I chose EIN for mine and put my SSN. It probably wasn't correct to do that but i just wanted to give as much info as i can. I have her email and address but not phone number, so i left that blank.
I wrote all my info though and marked consignee responsible for taxes etc.
Thanks for reading, does this sound correct?
