Trade fair shipping. There and back.
Samples, stands and products on show: we take them to fairs in Italy and abroad and bring them home again, with the right customs documents and a contact who knows the event deadlines.
The show has a date. We keep to it.
At a fair the goods must reach the stand before opening and leave straight after closing. We plan backwards from the build-up date, choose the mode and prepare the documents for both departure and return.
ATA carnet
For fairs outside the European Union, the ATA carnet lets you temporarily export samples and exhibition goods and bring them back duty-free, in the countries that accept it.
Temporary export at customs
Where the carnet is not used, our customs department handles temporary export, as an Authorised Economic Operator.
Stands and samples
Structures, stand furniture, demonstration machines and samples: one coordinated shipment, with the packing list ready for the fair.
Reusable crates
Custom wooden crates built for the round trip, and storage in Brescia between one event and the next.
Firearms trade fairs
Firearms and ammunition for display travel with the required authorisations, our licensed storage and, if needed, our escort service.
Art for exhibitions
Works on loan to exhibitions: dedicated packing, documents for temporary export and All Risks insurance on request.

Questions about trade fair shipping.
Do I need an ATA carnet for a trade fair abroad?
For fairs in non-EU countries that accept it, it is the simplest tool: samples and exhibition goods leave and come back without duties and without new customs formalities. For fairs within the European Union it is not needed.
What if the host country does not accept the ATA carnet?
We work with temporary export and the matching procedure in the destination country. Our customs department prepares the paperwork and tells you in advance which documents are needed.
What happens to goods sold at the fair?
Goods that do not come back must be regularised: the temporary export is closed with a definitive export for those items. It is best to tell us as soon as possible, so we can prepare the right documents.
Can you ship firearms to an industry trade fair?
Yes. We work in the firearms industry with a licensed storage, an escort service and UAMA authorisations for military materials. We check with you the permits required for the host country.
Can you keep the goods between fairs?
Yes. Stands, crates and samples can stay at our hub in Brescia, with 3,000 m² of covered space, and leave again for the next event.
