This document provides guidelines for sample requests of products: 1) Sample orders are limited to Categories P and A and must be for mature designs. Requests for other categories require approval from the CSR Manager. 2) The maximum quantity per request is 20 units or 1 demo/starter kit. Requests for more than 20 units require additional approval due to increased costs. 3) Samples can only be shipped to authorized distributors or sales reps to avoid exposing distribution costs directly to customers. 4) Sample deliveries must be fulfilled within 72 hours of the scheduled promise date, but revenue orders take priority for shipping.

1. Sample Rules Rules Explanation Sample orders are for Category P and A products only All other category products are for mature designs, and we should not be sampling. Any other category request will need CSR Manager approval Maximum quantity of 20 units or 1 demo/starter kit Once we exceed 20 units, cost incurred by SIMG is high. If you need more samples to win business, justification needs to be made to CS Manager for approval. Ship to authorized distributor or sales rep only Samples orders will have a "disti cost" associated to the sample request for export/commercial invoice reasons. Rep/Disti will NOT be charged for samples. Because commercial invoice exposes distribution cost, we do not want product shipping directly to customer. Delivery window is within in 72 hours of scheduled promise date It is our intent to turn samples as quickly as possible, however, revenue orders will take priority when shipping.
