Guide
A trade-show shipment is planned backwards from the hall’s receiving window, not forward from the day the cargo is ready. Start with the deadline in the exhibitor manual, either the advance warehouse cut-off or the direct-to-show slot. Subtract delivery from the port, customs release, the sailing or flight, and the export cut-off in China. What is left is the latest cargo-ready date. Yihang Shipping writes that date on the quote. If it has already passed, the quote says so and offers rail or air.

Count back from move-in using the lane’s planning window, then add customs release and delivery to the hall. A West Coast sailing and a European sailing are not the same number of days. The count-back tool gives a planning date; the quote gives the booked one.
A warehouse named by the show’s contractor that receives freight before move-in and delivers it to the booth. It costs storage and handling, and it removes the risk of missing a direct-to-show slot.
Then the plan changes: rail for Europe, air for what can fly, and a smaller ocean shipment for what can follow later. The desk says which pieces still make it.
