sample

Foreign Trade (SD-FT)

Piece, segment, portion or prototype of a product used for testing or demonstration purposes.

In international commerce, samples are generally duty free and are usually brought into a Customs territory at the cost of the exporter.

Quality Management (QM)

One or several units taken from the inspection lot (population), to gain information about the quality of the inspection lot.

The name sample is used to describe distinguishable (discrete) units, for example, piece goods that are subject to a sampling procedure.

Logistics Execution (LE)

Quantity of material that has been selected from an inspection lot. This sample quantity is checked to ensure that incoming goods meet required standards.

The inspection sample is generally withdrawn from the total quantity of goods received and stored temporarily in an inspection area. Using the WM system, it is also possible to store the inspection sample along with the rest of the quantity received in the warehouse in a normal storage bin. You can then identify it easily for the inspection process at a later time.
