Shipping Information

OCS will be working with IIE again in 2009 as the official shipper of exhibitor materials to the IIE fair series.

As the IIE fair official shipper, OCS will keep track of all exhibitors’ materials, store all exhibitors’ materials in OCS overseas stations, and deliver all exhibitors’ materials to the fair venue one day prior to the event day.

IIE strongly recommends using OCS as your courier to ensure customs clearance and safe arrival directly to the IIE fair venue. Using OCS allows OCS, IIE and you to track your materials and ensure safe delivery directly to the venue.

If you decide to use another carrier to ship directly overseas, your ship-to address should be the OCS agency address in each destination country.

Note that neither OCS nor IIE will be able to assist exhibitors to track or to locate or to assist delivery of shipping materials if the exhibitor chooses another courier or does not follow OCS shipping instructions.

Participating institutions shipping with OCS will not need to make any international shipments. Instead, you can forward all your boxes to the OCS trade fair hub in Boston.

From its Boston trade fair hub, OCS will take care of the rest, including address labeling and export documentation.

OCS will pay all duties and taxes on your behalf overseas and will oversee customs clearance for you in the receiving country.

According to the long experience of IIE/Hong Kong, OCS performs all of these services seamlessly and automatically, for all exhibitors who choose to ship with OCS.

Complete shipping instructions will be emailed to all registered participants.
You can always contact OCS at fairs@shipOCS.com or call toll-free in the U.S. 1-877-2222-OCS.
(Please keep this contact info for your reference.)

Note: for participants NOT using OCS.

If you decide to use another carrier to ship directly overseas, your ship-to address should 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 for each IIE fair city, and what the charges will be.

Please do NOT ship any materials to the offices of IIE or the fair organizers.

It is the responsibility of your carrier to deliver your materials “door-to-door” overseas to OCS.
Alternatively, you may ship your fair materials to the hotel in which you would stay. Note that you are responsible for contacting your hotel to arrange and confirm shipment.

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.

Again, if you choose to directly ship to your hotel, neither OCS nor IIE will be able to assist you to track or locate or assist delivery of your shipment. Neither OCS nor IIE will be able to assist if your packages are delayed in customs or undeliverable due to improper labeling or other error. Again, IIE strongly recommends shipping through OCS.
