Please follow the instructions carefully for shipping your Rug/Exhibit(s) in advance of Rug Hooking Week.

1. Pre-register your  Rug/Exhibit(s) for the exhibit by completing the online Rug/Exhibit Registration form. 

2. Specify on Rug/Exhibit Registration form that you plan to ship your Rug/Exhibit(s) for the show. 

3. Complete the Advance Shipping form and include a copy of the form with your shipment.  Find link to this form at bottom of this webpage.

5. Do NOT use packing peanuts or shredded paper as additional packaging material. Bubble wrap is fine. Packing materials must be easily reused for return shipment.

7. Packages can only be accepted at the above address arriving on Monday, August 1 through Friday, August 12, 2022. Rug/Exhibits will be stored unopened until Sunday, August 14, 2022, when they will be opened and prepared by experienced Rug/Exhibit handlers for check-in. Please check with the shipper to ensure your package will arrive no later than Friday, August 12, 2022.

8. Packages must be shipped pre-paid, including appropriate insurance coverage and delivery or signature confirmation (recommended).

  • a Customs Declaration or International Waybill
  • three (3) copies of a commercial invoice declaring the value and origin of the Rug/Exhibit(s) and
  • the appropriate wording to include on the exterior of the container to ensure the item is returned to you duty free and will clear Customs quickly (e.g., “Art item made in Canada, returning to Canada designer/owner”).
