Who Attends the Fair?

No previous fair statistics are available as this is the first time ever that IIE has held the US Higher Education fair in Guangzhou (/Hangzhou). Guangzhou (/Hangzhou) is a very active market for international students, and we estimated 50% of the students in Guangzhou (/Hangzhou) interested in studying abroad are seeking an undergraduate education, and the rest are interested in graduate study.

Shipping Information for Exhibitors


OCS will be working with IIE again in 2009 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 hotel room that you would stay in each destination country. Please make arrangements with your hotel directly.

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

If you do not use OCS, it will be the responsibility of your carrier to deliver your materials “door-to-door” overseas to your hotel room. 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.
