Who it is for
- Exhibitors shipping stands, machines, or samples from China to a named hall
- Shows where the goods must return, or where some pieces will be sold on site
- Cargo that is too large for a courier and too date-sensitive for a guess
Solutions
Exhibition logistics from China
Yihang Shipping moves exhibition cargo from a factory in China to a named hall, and back if the goods are not sold. The file can use an ATA carnet for temporary import, or a normal import if the goods stay. Ocean is for stands and machinery. Air is for samples. Where a China–Europe rail service replaces the sea route, transit can be up to about 40% shorter than ocean. That is a planning comparison, not a booked transit. The quote counts back from the hall’s receiving slot. This page does not name a show or a client.
| Mode | Planning window | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Ocean FCL | Use the lane’s planning window, then add release and the hall’s move-in. Dalian usually adds a feeder. | Stands, machinery, and anything that should stay in one box. |
| Air freight | A few days airport to airport once the flight is confirmed. Still has to clear the hall’s slot. | Samples, graphics, and pieces that miss the vessel. |
| China–Europe rail | Where rail replaces the sea route, up to about 40% shorter than ocean. A planning comparison, not a booked transit. | Europe, when the vessel misses the build day and air is the wrong tool. |
Windows are for planning. They are not a Yihang booking.
What the file includes
- ATA carnet handling when the goods are temporary and will return
- A normal export and import path when goods are sold or left behind
- Delivery coordinated to the hall’s receiving window, not only to the port
- The return leg booked as its own date, if the carnet requires the goods to leave
- China export clearance on the AEO file

Where this job already shows up
Questions shippers ask
Do you deliver to the stand?
The quote can include delivery to the hall’s receiving point for that show. A port on the bill of lading is not the stand. The hall’s slot and any exclusive handler are named before booking.
What is the ATA carnet for?
Temporary import when the goods will leave again. It is not the document for goods that are sold at the show. Tell us which pieces return and which stay, because those are two files.
How early should exhibition cargo leave China?
Count back from move-in using the lane’s planning window, then add customs release and the hall. A West Coast sailing and a European sailing are not the same number of days. The quote states the date. The page does not.
Can the goods come back to China?
Yes, when the carnet or the re-import is set up before they leave. The return sailing is a second date, not a footnote after the show closes.
