Shipping Information
 


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.
