Escort and transportation of exhibition cargoes

Transportation of exhibition cargo and their forwarding service is one of the most interesting tasks in logistics. Firstly, it is difficult to standardize the service, because different things, products, etc. are brought to the exhibition. Secondly, for a qualitative implementation it is necessary to have a large-scale experience, to have a TIR Carnet certificate. Thirdly, the package of documents and the complexity of their receipt are incomparable with standard cargo transportation.

The process mechanics for the customer are no different from any other cargo transportation. Specialists of the Logistics company listen to the task, evaluate the cost, select the transport, plan the route, receive the permit documentation, insurance and conduct all other staff manipulations to deliver the goods from point A to point B, to ensure its safety. The client provides the goods, documents, signs the contract and organizes the loading / unloading (optional).

But everything is relatively simple only if the delivery is planned within the country. International transportation of exhibition cargo requires the customs clearance of temporarily imported products or cultural valuables. Also, in the case of commercial exhibitions, it will be necessary to customs clearance of samples and promotional materials, which will be distributed directly to the event.

Fortunately, in most countries, the laws governing the procedure for import / export of exhibitions are transparent. All that is required from a logisticist is a perfect knowledge of the legal framework that comes with experience. Therefore, it is more profitable for a cargo owner to overpay, but to turn to professionals. Not knowing any one subtlety, you can disrupt the whole event.

Specificity also leaves an imprint on the timing of the carriage. To ensure the success of the event, you must apply at least 60 days before the planned date of the exhibition. In addition, notarized copies of the documents required for obtaining permits and customs clearance must not be older than 1 month. The fresher, the less claims arise from the controlling bodies.
