RFID Interoperability Event

To ease the logistics for the participants it is possible to send equipment in advance. This equipment will be stored at the event location and will be provided to the related participant in due time for the tests sessions.

Should you need to send your equipment prior to the event, it is your responsibility to organize shipment to and from China.

Each participant is free to select the transport company of his/her choice. Return shipment must be arranged when organizing incoming shipment. Ensure your company applies the right shipping rules.

In all cases, bring all shipping information with you:
Airway bill/tracking numbers, name and contact details of
shipping company, details of pick up arrangements.

You should apply for temporary admission of your goods into China, otherwise the Chinese customs will assume that your equipment is for sale. This means that you will be charged VAT on the declared value of your equipment.

Having a CARNET ATA is the safest way to handle this and has the advantage of ensuring quicker customs clearance. By completing this document, you are stating clearly that your equipment is not for sale, that it will be taken back, and that it is for a trade show only. The document ensures the temporary admission of your goods and avoids them being retained at the customs. 

All equipment can be shipped in advance to the following address:
China Electronics Standardization Institute - CESI
c/o Wang Wenfeng and/or Zhong Lina
(who can also advise on local shipping/custom regulations)

<your company name>
<name of responsible person form your comapny at the event>
