B. FOR U.S. COMPANIES THAT ARE SHIPPING STUFF
Please ship your material to the address below well in advance (I’d say asap or AT LEAST three weeks before the show). Shipments are randomly selected for inspection at the border and if you are unlucky processing can take over a week.

ATTENTION: please make sure you compile the necessary documentation specifying that in the shipment there are display samples for an industry event that will return to the US after the event is over. If I get charged taxes I’ll forward the bill to your company, but you should be able to get the money back once you cross the border again.
