be advised that all original shipping documents are to be handed over to the Official Forwarder for further
handling after exhibits arrive in Korea .

with thorough knowledge of the exhibits shall be present at the site of inspection.

After closure of the LED EXPO 2009, import or export of exhibits shall be subject to normal customs
procedure.
