Commercial samples

Also called: samples of negligible value · ticari numune

Goods sent to show or test the type and quality of products, which can be imported free of duty if they have negligible value and are usable only for soliciting orders, or temporarily imported under relief. Samples may need to be marked or rendered unusable to qualify.

In practice

Samples that could be sold need either duty payment or temporary admission, for example under an ATA carnet.
