Is it permissible to inflate the invoice value when importing goods to avoid their increased cost due to currency conversion?

Inflating the invoice to entice the buyer is lying, cheating, and deception, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever cheats is not from me," and "Beware of lying, for lying leads to immorality," and "Deception and treachery are in the Fire."

If the importer is an agent, he must disclose the truth. If he alters the invoice, this is forbidden lying and cheating.

Among the forbidden forms of invoice inflation is to enable the transfer of hard currency abroad under the pretext of importing, and this is forbidden lying and cheating and harms the country's economy.
