Sending product samples and issuing an MSDS certificate

Sending product samples – a highly demanded service, used by companies that wish to establish mutually beneficial cooperation with foreign partners and promote their products.

To ensure that the sent sample reaches its recipient, the sender needs to be aware of the main customs and tax nuances. First and foremost, the purpose of the shipment must be determined — for example, indicating that the goods are intended for customer familiarization to expand the sales market.

Samples of the following goods are allowed to be sent abroad:

• dog or cat food (in small quantities);
• food products from the manufacturer (sweets, coffee, tea, canned goods, beverages, chocolate) — special documentation must be provided;
• honey weighing up to 2 kg for laboratory testing;
• cosmetics and perfumes;
• in rare cases, samples of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products may also be sent.

Assistance with Obtaining an MSDS Certificate

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is an international document that is created in accordance with the regulatory requirements of the importing country (in European countries, it is governed by the REACH regulation). It is prepared in the recipient’s language and relates to the shipment of chemicals abroad, forming part of the accompanying documentation.

To avoid dealing with these issues on your own, saving time and money, it is better to entrust the resolution to the specialists at GlobalPost. They guarantee the safety of the shipped products and will also assist with the preparation of the accompanying documentation, including the MSDS certificate.
