What is shared
- Pickup or one receiving warehouse in China
- One container, train slot, or air consolidation
- One delivery to the advance warehouse or hall
- One coordinator for the organizer
Guide
Ten exhibitors, one box, ten files.
A China pavilion or a delegation of exhibitors going to the same show can share one container and one delivery slot instead of booking ten small shipments. Each exhibitor keeps its own packing list, its own carnet or import, and its own return plan; only the transport is shared. Yihang Shipping collects from each factory, consolidates the cargo, books one sailing or train, and delivers to the hall in one move, with the cost split per exhibitor. It works best when the organizer fixes one cut-off date for everyone.
What stays separate
- Each exhibitor’s packing list and piece marks
- Each exhibitor’s carnet, temporary import, or normal import
- Each exhibitor’s return, sale, or onward move
- Each exhibitor’s share of the cost
What the organizer fixes
- One cargo cut-off date for every exhibitor
- A list of exhibitors and contacts
- The hall and booth numbers
- Who signs for the group at destination

Questions exhibitors ask
Is group shipping cheaper than shipping alone?
Usually, for small exhibitors: one container and one delivery slot cost less than ten small shipments. The saving depends on how many join and how close their factories are.
What if one exhibitor is late?
The box waits only until the cut-off. A late exhibitor ships separately, usually by air. That rule is agreed before collection starts.
Can a pavilion use one carnet?
No. Each exhibitor is the holder of its own goods. Shared transport, separate customs files.
