Groupage services consolidate multiple smaller shipments from different companies into one full truck or container, 
making it a cost-effective solution for businesses with less-than-truckload (LTL) freight, as they only pay for the space they use, not the whole vehicle. Specialists collect goods, combine them at a hub, transport them as a single unit, and then separate them at the destination for final delivery, offering savings, flexibility, and efficiency for both domestic and international shipping. 

Exhibition logistics services encompass the specialized logistical support needed to transport, install, and manage materials and equipment for events like trade shows and exhibitions. These services ensure a smooth and efficient experience for exhibitors by handling everything from initial collection to final delivery and setup at the venue. 

Freight Forwarding:

This involves managing the international or domestic transportation of exhibition materials, including customs clearance, documentation, and shipping by air, sea, or road. Exhibition cargo to/from Europe and the UK requires specialized, time-critical logistics, including ATA Carnet management for temporary imports, dedicated vehicle transport (vans to 44t trucks), and on-site, specialized handling to meet strict venue deadlines. Key services include door-to-stand, custom clearance, and on-site support. 

Key Logistics and Customs Requirements

• Customs Clearance (Post-Brexit): Shipments between the UK and EU require formal customs declarations.
• ATA Carnet: Crucial for temporary admission to avoid import duties/taxes on display goods,, enabling, and stand materials.
• Documentation: Accurate commercial invoices, packing lists, and, if necessary, export licenses are mandatory to avoid delays.

On-site Handling:

This includes receiving, storing, and delivering items to the exhibitor's stand, as well as providing support with unloading, unpacking, and installation.
