Requesting international trade show and event transport

Plan your transport

Give specific times at both ends and note which local time they refer to. The contact at the venue can contribute access information; also name who provides project documents and coordinates open questions. Based on these details we discuss the specific route and its requirements before an arrangement is agreed.

Within the EU and beyond

Within the EU single market, goods in free circulation travel without customs formalities. If the route leads to a country outside the EU – such as Switzerland, Norway or the United Kingdom – the question of export and temporary admission arises for exhibition goods. An ATA Carnet, issued in many countries through chambers of commerce, is often an option.

Clarify document questions early

Whether an ATA Carnet or another customs procedure suits your shipment is best clarified early with your customs department, chamber of commerce or a customs broker. Tell us the outcome and the intended documents in your request. We then plan time buffers at the border and agree when and where the documents must be available.

Good to know

Plan your transport

Are countries and event dates enough for a first request?

For a first idea, yes; for a quotation, no. Add handover locations, material scope, contacts and – for destinations outside the EU – how customs documents are to be handled. Mark missing information so that the next steps can be assigned specifically.

Transport solutions

01

Clarifying access to exhibition centres and event venues

The postal address of an exhibition centre, hotel or event venue rarely leads straight to the delivery area. For the transport request, what matters is the gate, the loading bay, the access rules and the place where the goods are handed over. Add the specific entrance given and the organiser’s information – and whether entry, registration and handover point are in the same place or separate.

02

Separating entry, registration and handover at the exhibition centre

Registering at the venue and handing over your shipment are two different steps – often in different places. Many exhibition centres require a vehicle access permit, a booked time slot or registration in a logistics portal for delivery vehicles. Gather the organiser’s current information and state which references already exist for your project and who will obtain missing ones.

Quotation for trade show and event transport: the details that count

A reliable quotation for trade show or event transport comes from a few but complete details: what is being transported, from where to where, when and under which handover conditions. Start with the actual transport units and the two handover points. Add time windows and known conditions at the venue – the quotation can then reflect more than the event name and a rough crate count.
