W2C – Your customs broker when planning events in Quebec

Entertainment industry events and trade shows have very specific logistical requirements. Every detail matters and every second is worth its weight in gold. Everything must be ready for that highly anticipated day when all eyes are on you. A single event can make or break your reputation – thus the critical importance of receiving your equipment and materials on time.

W2C customs brokers help you avoid possible roadblocks and pitfalls so that your big day is a resounding success. Our adaptability, initiative and sense of urgency have made us your partner of choice in the event industry.

Let W2C do the planning for you

W2C classifies your HS-coded products

A concert or performing art tour requires the transport of many different products across the border. In certain cases, a list of harmonized system (HS) codes for each product must be supplied within very short timelines. W2C has the customs brokerage expertise and quick response time needed to assign the correct HS codes to the different products that you will transport while on tour.
