OCS
will be working with IIE again in 2007 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 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 in
each city, and what the charges 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 deliver your materials
“door-to-door” overseas to OCS.
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. |
