OCS will be working with IIE
again in 2008 as an official shipper of exhibitor
materials.
Participating institutions shipping with OCS will
not need to make any international shipments.
Instead, all boxes can be forwarded to our OCS trade
fair hub in Boston.
From here, OCS will take care of the rest, including
address labeling and export documentation.
OCS will pay all duties and taxes on your behalf overseas.
You will have no customs clearance worries.
OCS performs all of these services seamlessly and
automatically for all exhibitors shipping with OCS.
We will store all exhibitors’ materials in our overseas
stations and deliver them on instruction from IIE,
direct to the fair venue.
Complete shipping instructions will be emailed to
all registered participants.
You can always contact OCS at fairs@shipOCS.com
or by calling toll-free in the U.S. 1-877-2222-OCS.
Note: for participants NOT using OCS.
If you decide to use another carrier to ship directly
overseas, your ship-to address will be the OCS agency
address in each destination country. IIE has requested
that OCS in each Fair city receive this type of “direct”
freight.
After you register for the fair and complete the proper
OCS forms, we will send you instructions on where
to send boxes in each city, and what the charges will
be.
Please
do NOT ship any materials to the offices of IIE or
the fair organizers.
It will be the responsibility of your carrier to deliver
your materials “door-to-door” overseas to OCS.
Please make sure your carrier is able to clear customs
in the countries you ship to, and make sure they can
take care of duty and taxes for you. Please do NOT
ship your materials as “cargo” or “door-to-airport”,
because these services generally do NOT include customs
clearance. Neither OCS nor IIE will be able to assist
if your packages are delayed in customs or undeliverable
due to improper labeling.
