skos:exampleFor instance, a university in the EU imports scientific equipment from a non-EU country. According to Directive 2009/132/EC, this import may be exempt from VAT as it falls under the category of educational or scientific goods. Similarly, if a charity organization imports clothing for donation to people in need, these goods may also be exempt from VAT as per the directive.

These goods include those of an educational, scientific or cultural nature, charitable or philanthropic goods, and goods imported directly by public bodies.
