Consignment sales there is no transaction value at the time of importation

Did you know that for consignment sales there is no transaction value at the time of importation?

This refers to goods dispatched to the country of importation not as a result of a sale, but with the intention that they would be sold on behalf of the supplier, at the price obtainable. At the time of importation, no sale has taken place, and the goods remain the property of the foreign supplier until, after importation, they are sold through a selling agent at the best price. Hence there is no transaction value for these goods at the time of importation.
