Shipping Information



The Official Courier for IIE Higher Education Fairs in Asia


OCS will be working with IIE again in 2010 as the official shipper of exhibitor materials to the IIE fair series. As the IIE fair official shipper, OCS will keep track of and store exhibitors’ materials in OCS overseas stations, and deliver them 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’s courier service allows OCS, IIE and you to track your materials and ensure safe delivery directly to the venue. 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. Complete shipping instructions will be emailed to all registered participants who has chosen to use OCS.

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. You can always contact OCS at fairs@shipOCS.com or call toll-free in the U.S. 1-877-2222-OCS, or from outside the U.S. - 1-781-933-1130.

Note: for participants NOT using OCS:
Please do NOT ship any materials to IIE or to fair organizers’ offices. Neither IIE nor fair organizers, will be able to assist you to track your shipment before the fair, or to help on the day of the fair.

If you decide to use another courier service to ship directly overseas, 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 you have chosen not to use OCS, it is the responsibility of your carrier to deliver your materials “door-to-door” overseas to the fair venue on, or prior to the fair day. 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.

If you ship your fair materials to the hotel in which you would stay. Please note that you are responsible for contacting your hotel to arrange and confirm shipment. Neither IIE offices nor fair organizers, will be able to assist you to track or locate delivery of your shipment, or, 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 to ensure receiving your shipment to the IIE fair venues on time.
