What is the correct process for declaring and exporting sample bottles internationally?

When exporting sample bottles internationally, use a commercial invoice that clearly declares the contents as samples rather than goods for resale, but assign a nominal value (e.g. €4.50 per bottle) rather than marking them as €0. This helps avoid customs complications.

**Key practices:** - Mark packages clearly with 'Samples not for resale' or similar language - Use a priority shipping service for faster transit - Include a commercial invoice with sample status and nominal per-unit pricing stated

**Sampling support:** Members have used **Hels Angels** (wearehels.com) to source people to help execute sampling campaigns if you need boots-on-the-ground support in target markets.
