How do I ship samples?

A sample is a product intended to determine what the final item will look like, such as the quality, colour and standard for potential future sales. The sample is a production prototype that cannot be resold and is often marked as such – for example torn, cut or being only a single item in a pair, such as a glove or a shoe.

Duties and taxes are not usually charged on samples, unless the products are unable to satisfy the sample requirements set out by the country you’re importing goods into, or the country does not recognize or accept samples.
