Mining equipment
MINExpo International 2028 runs September 26–28 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It is held every four years and is one of the largest mining equipment shows, so exhibits include haul-truck components, drills, crushers, and full machines. From China, oversized pieces travel on flat racks or as breakbulk to a West Coast port and continue by road to Las Vegas with permits. In the US, exhibits enter on an ATA carnet, a temporary importation bond, or a normal import. Yihang Shipping ships mining equipment routinely and plans from the outdoor or hall move-in day back.
| Dates | September 26–28, 2028 |
|---|---|
| Where | Las Vegas Convention Center |
| Cycle | Every four years, September |
| Sector | Mining equipment |
| 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.

Nine to twelve months for oversized machines: box type, sailing, US road permits, and the show’s move-in schedule all have to line up.
Either works. A carnet covers several countries; a temporary importation bond is set up with a US broker for that entry. A sold machine is entered normally.
Yes. ConExpo-Con/Agg is also at the Las Vegas Convention Center, next in March 2029, and is planned the same way.
