Custom Clearance
DSV Fairs & Events and Airlink International provide temporary and permanent customs formalities for consignments arriving into the UAE by road, sea and air.
Heavy Exhibits & Outsized items
31 October - 01 November 2025 is the time designated for the movement and installation of heavy or outsized items. Exhibits in excess of 2000kg or measuring more than 2m in length, width or height will need to be positioned during this time period. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to make provision to ensure that these items are on-site and positioned during this time. Please liaise with the official freight handling contractor – DSV Fairs & Events and Airlink International for further details.
Storage
NO excess stock, literature or empty packing cases, crates and boxes may be stored around or behind your stand, due to the materials being a fire risk. It is the exhibitors’ responsibility to ensure that items are quickly disposed of or stored until required for re-shipment at the end of the exhibition. Storage behind stands is strictly forbidden. Any goods left behind stands will be disposed of immediately during the daily master cleaning. Exhibitors who are looking for space to store boxes can avail the storage service from the official freight company. Alternatively, you need to make the provision to build a storeroom into your stand design.
Please note that empty packing material will not be permitted to be stored anywhere on the show site during the exhibition. DSV Fairs & Events and Airlink International will make provision to remove, store and return the empty packing material using an uncovered off-site facility. Please take this into consideration when planning the unpacking and repacking of your shipments.
Traffic Management Plan
This is to help control over crowding in the loading yards, maintain a safe working environment and to monitor security at the venue. Please note there will be a charge of AED500 per truck per day.
Please communicate the following procedures to any contractors or delivery companies you may be using during build up and breakdown:
- All vehicles must report to the marshalling yard using the contractor gate marked Grandstand.
- Drivers must register their vehicle with the Traffic Management Team - they will then be issued with a gate pass which will allow access to the loading yards.
- As soon as space becomes available in the loading yards, vehicles will be called forward and directed to the area closest to the stand or chalet they are servicing.
- Vehicles must be removed from the loading areas as soon as they have been unloaded to allow other vehicles to be processed.
No stand construction deliveries will be allowed after 18:00 or before 08:00.
