What is the difference between a Pro-forma and Commercial Invoice (CI)?

The pro-forma invoice is a preliminary bill of sale issued prior to shipping the goods. A Commercial Invoice is prepared by the exporter and is required by the foreign buyer to prove ownership and arrange for payment. The CI is required for all international shipments.
