This can be exported by the suppliers as free sample and the receiver of the sample has to pay the duty at the applicable rates and clear the goods for their home consumption. The samples shall be disclosed in the financial statements of the Company as related party transaction. The Importer can take the GST credit on the payment of custom duty as per the GST provisions and account for the goods as inventory including the cost for bringing the material to their present location and condition.
