Shipping manual hobbit

All Exhibitors can freely choose their own freight forwarder and must make their own arrangements for the permanent or temporary admittance of goods. All expenses connected with these arrangements are for the exclusive account of the Exhibitors. The Organizers do not assume any responsibility or liability over related expenses, or taxes, or materials held in customs and not cleared in due time. To make this a smooth and simple procedure for Exhibitors, we suggest contacting the international shipping and forwarding agent, HOB who will circulate details of shipping procedures and customs documentation to Exhibitors directly or via their appointed agent in each country. We strongly recommend Exhibitors to seek the advice of the above company for shipment of goods in order to avoid delays at Customs, or even be subject to non-clearance of goods, as cu It is the Exhibitors' responsibility to ensure that their exhibits are covered by adequate insurance for shipment to, the duration of, re-packing and re-export from the Exhibition.
