In order to proceed with your shipments, please consider the points below.
 
Customs Clearance
  • Brochures may be imported Duty & Tax free, provided that the following appears on the invoice:
      –  The words "CeBIT free handouts"
      –  The name of the receiving company with hall & stand number.
  • Small Dutiables – valued less than EUR 22 may be imported Duty & Tax free.
  • Shipments valued less than USD 1,000 are more efficient and preferable because documentation is simpler and faster.
  • High Value Dutiables – valued greater than EUR 22 / USD 32
 

  • A – These can be cleared by FedEx. Duty & Taxes (approximately 25% of value + freight) will be either:
     1) invoiced to Shipper / 3rd party account number (if provided on AWB ) or
     2) paid by Consignee Cash upon Delivery (Credit Cards not accepted).
    No special documentation is required, although importers can not have subsidiaries in Germany.
 
  •  B – Temporary Customs Entry may be processed only by a Trade Fair Broker.
    In this case, the Trade Fair broker must be contacted prior to transport and the conditions and delivery address on the FedEx AWB etc. must be set. 
Charges for Temporary Customs Entries are min. EUR 290 (USD 430).
Please expect one extra day for Customs clearance and delivery.
We work in cooperation with Schenker and have a daily shuttle to their In-Bond- Warehouse on the fairground:
