OCS
will again be working with IIE this year as an official
shipper of exhibitor materials.
Participating
institutions who choose to ship 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
there, OCS will take care of the rest:
• Confirm
box counts, notify customers
• Re-pack / re-tape boxes if necessary
• Label boxes with university name, destination, representative
name
• Prepare export & customs documents & licensing
where required
• Palletize boxes (boxes will be shipped on wrapped skids
for greater protection and accountability)
• Transport - by air express - all material to proper destination
• Clear foreign customs for you; OCS takes responsibility
as Importer of Record
• Defer customs duties/taxes (OCS pays those fees up front
on your behalf)
• Store your materials in our overseas OCS stations prior
to fair date
• Deliver to exhibition site on schedule
All
you have to do is show up at the fair.
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 still be OCS in each destination
country. IIE has appointed OCS in each Fair city to receive
freight.
After
you register for the fair, OCS will send you instructions
on where to send boxes in each city, and what the receiving
fees 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 get your materials
overseas to OCS. They will need to clear customs, settle
duty / tax, and deliver to the OCS station in each destination
country. Neither OCS nor IIE will be able to assist if your
packages are delayed in customs or undeliverable due to
improper labeling.
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. |
