4. • Usually it is the exporter who issues this document. Nevertheless,
sometimes, companies with international purchase experience (such
trading companies) have their own international purchase order
template where they establish the purchase conditions to their suppliers.
• International purchase orders must be numbered in accordance
with a correlative issuing date system. The number of the international
purchase order can be then included in the corresponding commercial
invoice, as a reference.
• The international purchase order must be signed by both (buyer and
seller) parties. Apart from the stamp of the companies, this document
must include the signature of a person (administrator, director)
authorized to do it.
