AI Summary

Proof of export can prevent recharacterisation as domestic sale when supported by shipping documentation and bank realisation. Whether an export may be characterised as domestic due to a belated invoice depends on documentary proof of export. Key operative documents to substantiate export are the Shipping Bill, Bill of Lading, sale order and importer's purchase order, ARE-1, and Bank Realisation Certificate; these demonstrate carriage, contractual commitment, export clearance and foreign exchange realisation and can establish export status notwithstanding a delayed invoice.
