Use a language both sides understand
English is commonly used for cross-border invoices. Keep descriptions specific and make sure company names and addresses are written in a form the customer can use.
State the currency explicitly
USD, EUR and GBP can change the meaning of the same number. Always show the invoice currency and verify prices yourself; changing a currency code should never silently convert a commercial agreement.
Payment and tax details
Add IBAN, SWIFT/BIC or other payment information only when relevant. VAT, sales tax, reverse-charge and cross-border rules depend on the countries and transaction, so verify the current treatment separately.
Export a stable PDF
Create the invoice in the required language, review the totals and dates, and export a PDF that will look the same when your customer opens it.
