MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
All pieces or shipping crates must be clearly outlined below. Pieces on pallets, even if they are banded and shrink wrapped, should be individually labeled. All
wood packing material entering the USA is now subject to ISPM standards, so all non-manufactured wood packing and dunnage material must be heat-treated
or fumigated and marked with the IPPC stamp.
CUSTOMS CLEARANCE
Airways Freight Corporation will arrange for all customs clearance for both the import and export of your exhibition materials. All articles for give-away, sales or
consumption will be cleared as dutiable entries. For goods that will be re-exported, we recommend the use of an ATA Carnet. If a Carnet cannot be obtained,
temporary entries can be made. Please ensure that your invoices clearly distinguish between items that will be consumed and items that will be re-exported. All
commercial invoices should be sent to us prior to shipment for our review at: res@airwaysfreight.com
