Trade Fair Act of 1959

Information for Exhibitors

Diversified Communications has made arrangements for this event to be certified under the Trade Fair Act of 1959.  This will enable exhibitors to import merchandise for the show, without having to pay duty. Under the "Trade Fair" entry procedure exhibitors do not have to make a final decision regarding whether to pay Customs duty on their merchandise until after the show. Exhibitors then have up to three months to re-export the merchandise or re-classify it under a different customs entry category: consumption (duty paid); warehousing; destruction, etc. All merchandise entered under the Trade Fair arrangements must remain under the control of U. S. Customs until its final disposition is decided. In addition, merchandise cannot be released from Customs custody until all provisions of Customs laws have been met and any applicable duties and taxes paid.
