Send samples abroad — “no commercial value” stated, with a fair value customs can accept — in a clean PDF.
100% freeNo signupNo watermarkInstant PDF download
Samples sent to a buyer, a distributor or a trade show are not sold, but customs still needs a value. A samples commercial invoice says so clearly — “samples, no commercial value” or “free of charge, value for customs purposes only” — gives a realistic value per item, the origin and HS code, and why they are being sent. Marking samples as unusable for sale can lower or remove duty in some countries.
This template opens with sample lines. Add the description, HS code and origin, a realistic customs value, the statement that no payment is due, and download a PDF for the courier.
Note: Samples of no commercial value · value for customs purposes only
A fair one: the cost of the item or what it would sell for. Declaring zero is not accepted by most customs authorities.
It depends on the country and the value. Many have low-value thresholds, and samples marked or made unusable for sale can be exempt.

A commercial invoice is the final, definitive invoice issued when goods ship — the bill the buyer pays and the document customs uses to assess duty. A proforma invoice is a preliminary, good-faith estimate sent before the sale is final. The commercial invoice carries the real, declared values.
A commercial invoice is the definitive bill and customs document for a shipment. The Invoices Tracker keeps your commercial invoices, clients and what each still owes together — so your books and shipments reconcile.
