Please do not block the aisles during set-up and dismantling - packages or stand constructions in the aisles hinder the laying of gangway carpeting and the delivery of service companies.

Fire extinguishers and hydrants must not be blocked under any circumstances.

Details Set-up & Dismantling

Delivery

Exhibit items can be delivered to the stand by a forwarding agent, courier service or the postal services during the set-up times as given above. Please arrange delivery times directly with the company you have contracted, i.e. for when you will be on your stand to take delivery of such items.

All deliveries to your stand must be clearly addressed as follows:

Exhibitor name, hall and stand number
Frankfurt Book Fair
MESSEGELÄNDE
Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1
60327 Frankfurt am Main
Germany

Please do not under any circumstances address your items to the office address of the Frankfurt Book Fair!

Forwarding agent

Official forwarding agent of the Frankfurt Book Fair is Panalpina Welttransport GmbH whose address you can find below. Panalpina sends the necessary documents on request. As it is in your own interest to ensure that transport goes smoothly, please ensure that you follow their instructions to the letter - if only to avoid problems with strict customs controls for trade fair goods. The international subsidiaries of Panalpina prepare group shipments to Frankfurt from several countries. If you are interested, please get in touch with the companies listed by Panalpina in their information packages.

Customs clearance of items sent through the post is complicated and we strongly advise against using postal services. If postal dispatch is unavoidable, please send a pro forma invoice to your forwarding agent stating the total number of parcels, so that the agent can clear your parcels at the postal customs office and store them until the Book Fair. However, this is only possible if they have been properly franked. This also applies to express rail consignments. Unfranked items will not be delivered by the freight forwarding agents. Urgent overseas parcels are best sent by air freight. Please note that there are special rates for books.
