Customs may not allow exhibitor to distribute these kinds of souvenirs without the presentation of this permit. Normally, it takes more than 4 weeks to obtain the permit from ELECTRICITY AUTHORITIES of China and the cost for this application is more than US$400/application, and exhibitors are also needed to pay the import tax/duties for electronic souvenirs. Therefore, it is not recommended to ship the ELECTRONIC SOUVENIRS to exhibition.  

 

Customs Regulations  

 

         Please be informed for all exhibitions in China, each exhibitor must now provide the catalogues, pictures or any related documents for their temporary imported exhibition equipment with declared value at or over US$10,000 (per unit).

         On the other hand, there must be a serial number on all the equipment (even if its value is lower than US$10,000) which customs officers will record during their inspection for inward and it must be tallied with what is declared on the declaration form. This record will be checked again during the export.  

         In such case, it is strongly recommended that the exhibitor should print the serial number of the exhibition equipment on each packing case in order to shorten the time that is spent on the Customs Inspection for return/re-export/transfer/sold exhibits.
