Construction equipment and aggregates
ConExpo-Con/Agg 2029 runs March 13–17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It is North America’s largest construction show, held every three years, with over 2,000 exhibitors. Exhibitors from China ship excavators, loaders, cranes, attachments, and stands. Big machines travel on flat racks or breakbulk to Los Angeles or Long Beach, then by permitted road haul to Las Vegas. In the US, exhibits enter on an ATA carnet, a temporary importation bond, or a normal import. Yihang Shipping plans the exhibit from the move-in day back, with Chinese New Year inside the window.

| Where | Las Vegas Convention Center |
| Cycle | Every three years, March |
| Sector | Construction equipment and aggregates |
| Mode | Planning window | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Ocean FCL | Often 14–22 days port to port from East China to Los Angeles or Long Beach. Add release, the truck to the show city, and the receiving dates. Dalian adds a feeder. | Stands, machines, and anything that should stay in one box. |
| Ocean LCL | The same sailing plus consolidation in China and a US warehouse. | A few pallets of booth material, when the date allows the extra handling. |
| Air freight | A few days airport to airport once the flight is confirmed. Still has to meet the receiving slot. | Samples, graphics, demo units, and anything that missed the vessel. |
Windows are for planning. They are not a Yihang booking.

For oversized machines, about a year before: the box type and sailing, US road permits, and the outdoor move-in day. The cargo should be ready before Chinese New Year.
It becomes a normal US import. Keep likely sales off the carnet, or plan the conversion with the US broker before the show.
Yes. The return sailing is booked as its own date, with the carnet or bond closed when the goods leave the US.
