Important Shipping, Customs and Setup Information
Please read the following information to insure that all necessary materials and equipment arrive in a timely manner to be transported to the conference site accordingly.
Official Forwarding Agent and Customs Clearance
ConsultExpo has been appointed as the official customs broker and Freeman the official transportation provider for CHI 2018. Their teams can advise you on the best methods for shipping various goods and assist in completing customs documents. We strongly encourage you to use ConsultExpo to customs clear your materials to and from the conference.
Shipping & Travel Time Sensitivity
Please speak with the official carrier Freeman regarding shipping to the meeting and transit times. It is necessary to notify ConsultExpo as soon as possible if you are hand carrying commercial goods with you on a plane or driving them into Canada yourself via private vehicle. This will permit ConsultExpo to supply you with the appropriate customs forms and prepare for your crossing. If you are shipping via a courier company such as UPS/DHL or FedEx, please provide ConsultExpo with your tracking number and complete ConsultExpo’s customs forms and return to them. Please do not ship via Parcel Post. All customs and duties charges are the responsibility of the sender.
