A commercial invoice for international shipping needs to show, clearly, who is sending the goods, who is receiving them, what the goods are, and their value — customs officials use exactly this information to assess duty and clear the shipment. The "Ship To" field on this tool is designed for exactly this, letting you list a delivery address separately from the billing address when they differ.
This site issues every invoice in GBP, since it is built specifically for UK-based senders. If your overseas buyer needs the value shown in their own currency for customs purposes, note the equivalent amount and the exchange rate used in the Notes field alongside the GBP total.
Be precise with the item descriptions — customs authorities want to know what the goods actually are (e.g. "Cotton T-shirts, men's, 20 units" rather than just "Clothing"), so use the line-item description field for a clear, specific breakdown rather than a single bulk entry.

No. It creates the commercial invoice itself; duty, tariffs and customs classification are determined by the destination country's customs authority based on the goods and value you declare.
