Transfer Invoice

A Transfer Invoice (also known as Transportation Letter) is a type of invoice that lists the goods that will be transported. This CFDI is required to cover such transfer. This document is required by the authorities for the transportation of goods from one point to another; it applies to the transfer of goods or products from a business.

Is the Transfer Invoice the same as a Carta Porte?

No, the Transfer Invoice is the CFDI that covers the transfer of goods or products from a business, while the Carta Porte is a complement that can be added to either an Income invoice or a Transfer invoice.

This invoice can be identified as type "T" and its main function is to authenticate the possession or legitimate possession of the object during the journey.

When creating a Transfer Invoice, you can fill it in with zeroes since the value of the goods is not important, but rather their legal possession.

Examples of transfer invoices​

To fully understand all the available options when creating a invoice, detailed descriptions of each field, and the most commonly used catalogs, please refer to the Create Invoice method reference.

Transportation of goods between two points​

In this example, a business issues a transfer invoice to cover the movement of 2,250 liters of LP gas between two branches.
