The Best International Shipping Advice

Rarely has an article so thoroughly addressed international shipping for trade show exhibitors as "Customs, Crates & Carnets, A Global Guide to International Shipping" does in the September 2013 issue of Exhibitor magazine. Cynthya Porter, Staff Writer, covers not only the obvious advice about international shipping (use "fragile" stickers to prevent breakage) but also reveals the less-advertised information needed to navigate foreign customs, recover import taxes such as VAT, identify unusual prohibited items and save import duties and taxes with an ATA Carnet. She wraps it all up with a list of Online Resources you can bookmark for future reference.
