People have arrived at the booth, but the products haven't arrived yet? Thinking about it gives me a headache! Overseas exhibitions are not a trivial matter, and the transportation of exhibits must not be careless. Many companies have fallen into this trap. Today, MiMu Overseas will share six valuable tips with you. It is recommended to bookmark them!
1. Understand the Transportation Guide
Many exhibiting companies are unaware of the "Transportation Guidelines" for exhibit transportation, resulting in delays in packaging, customs clearance, inspection, and other processes, wasting time and even affecting the progress of the exhibition. Familiarity with relevant regulations in advance is the key to avoiding problems.
2. Customs declaration, don't play tricks
Some people intentionally underreport the prices of exhibits in order to pay less tariffs, which may result in fines or even confiscation of exhibits. Customs declaration must be truthful, and the customs must be knowledgeable and not deceived. Normally declared goods can be released within a few hours, but abnormal ones can be much more troublesome to handle.
3. Don't save on insurance premiums
Many people think that if the transportation company has strong capabilities, they will not buy insurance and hold a lucky mentality. Don't save a little money, if something happens, you'll lose everything. Find a strong exhibition company that usually helps exhibitors purchase insurance; If not, you must make up for it yourself.
4. Find a professional team for transportation
In order to save time, some exhibitors hire cheap non professional movers or let employees do it themselves, but the damage to the exhibits cannot be attributed to responsibility. It is recommended to find a professional exhibition transportation company, who can directly deliver the exhibits to the exhibition booth. Some companies even provide on-site services, which is both worry free and safe.
5. Understand the global transportation time
Shipping time varies by region:
-USA: 20-30 days - Europe: approximately 30 days
-Russia: 14-30 days - Middle East: such as Dubai, about 20 days
-Southeast Asia: 7-14 days
These are normal situations, and in the event of unexpected events such as strikes, wars, or natural disasters, the time may be extended. So it is important to arrange in advance, and it is best to carry small items with you to be prepared.

6. Avoiding customs inspection risks
Once problems are discovered during customs inspections in the destination country, it not only wastes time but may also result in penalties. Ensuring the accuracy and correctness of all transportation documents, including customs clearance documents, invoices, and bills of lading, is an effective way to reduce risks.
Final suggestion: Entrust a professional company!
The safety and punctuality of exhibit transportation are more important than anything else. Only by entrusting this part to a professional company can you focus your energy on expanding customers.
