How to Ship Exhibits to Germany

Country-specific logistics and customs notes.

Germany hosts some of the world's largest trade fairs, including Hannover Messe and IFA. Exhibits typically enter under temporary import, often with an ATA Carnet.

Confirm the venue's delivery windows and any build-up restrictions early — many venues require advance booking of delivery slots.

Customs is efficient but strict: accurate commercial invoices and packing lists in the correct format keep clearance moving.

Allow time for the return move. Temporary import goods must re-export after the show, so plan the reverse leg before you ship.

Not sure which one you need?

Send us the event, the cargo and the deadline — we will come back with a plan and a price.
