For best usability:

Recommendation	Reason
Use tabs for major sections	Keeps the form manageable
Use collapsible panels for parties and item details	Avoids overwhelming the user
Use repeatable grids for documents, goods items, packaging and taxes	Matches XML repeatable structures
Use lookups/dropdowns for codes	Reduces data-entry errors
Use date pickers but store as XML format	User-friendly entry, valid XML output
Use currency selector next to amount fields	Required where XML has `currencyID` attributes
Use unit selector next to quantity fields	Required where XML has `unitCode` attributes
Use Review & Submit validation tab	Prevents invalid XML or incomplete declarations
