International Installations: Planning Shipping and Customs for Event Equipment

Borders Add Complexity

Taking kit abroad means customs, couriers and sometimes long waits. A missed form or delayed pallet can cost an event its main attraction.

Questions to Ask Early

Speak to a specialist freight agent as soon as the destination is known. We plan these steps on our international projects.

  • Paperwork — what documents does the destination require
  • Temporary export — how to bring equipment back without extra duty
  • Timing — allow for delays at both ends
  • Power and plugs — local voltage and sockets
  • Local support — who can help if something breaks

Pack for the Journey

Use sturdy cases, record serial numbers and photograph the contents. Check the insurance covers transit and the venue.

Take Proper Advice

Customs rules change and vary between countries. This is general information, not legal or customs advice, so check with a qualified freight agent. Agencies planning overseas events can talk to us via our partnership programme.
