Confirmed Sample

Confirmed Sample refers to a sample that has been finally approved and signed by the buyer during trade negotiations, serving as the quality basis for the seller's future mass production and delivery. Usage scenarios: typically after multiple revisions, the buyer is satisfied with the sample and signs to confirm it, or the buyer signs back a 'Confirmed Sample' label after receiving the sample. Precautions: The confirmed sample should be made in triplicate, with the buyer and seller each keeping one copy and a third party (such as an inspection agency) retaining one copy; the seller's production must strictly match the confirmed sample, otherwise the buyer has the right to reject the goods or file a claim; the confirmed sample should be properly kept as a basis for handling quality disputes. Difference from 'Reference Sample': A reference sample only provides a quality reference and is not used as a delivery basis; a confirmed sample is legally binding and is the core of the contract's quality clause. Unlike an 'Original Sample', which is the sample initially provided by the seller and may not have been confirmed by the buyer. Therefore, in foreign trade, they should be clearly distinguished to avoid confusion.
