VALUATION OF IMPORTED SAMPLES
The value of samples is the price actually paid or payable for the samples, i.e. their real transaction value. The value should not be a nominal value or artificial value.
Samples Sold To URBN & Samples Free Of Charge To URBN
Shipments of samples, whether imported by mail or express courier, by hand, or by formal entry, must be handled in the same manner as usual commercial importations. That is, the full price paid or payable by URBN to the vendor should be declared on the commercial invoice (not an arbitrary or nominal “Customs” value), whether the samples are mutilated, duty-free, or otherwise.
All UK Sample shipments should be cleared under Free Circulation, CPC 4000000.
Samples should be limited quantity.
If Free of Charge To URBN
The invoice should state that the samples are being provided “free of charge, value for customs purposes only”.
