Multitask Development Pte Ltd
T: +65 6788 1019 / 9456 7697
E: sales@mdpl.com.sg
W: www.multitaskdevt.com 

All exhibitors should be aware that if they have a locked area on the stand - office or kitchen – that requires overnight cleaning or are using a night sheet they must surrender a DUPLICATE key to the Organisers office that will be retained for the duration of the show. 

All gangways and common areas within the exhibition hall will be cleaned overnight.

You and your contractor are responsible for removing and disposing of excessive waste from the exhibition hall.  Waste materials (e.g. carpet, carpet tape, construction materials, flooring, furniture, food waste and pallets) MUST NOT be abandoned onsite.  Organisers are not responsible for the clearing of such rubbish and will pass on any costs incurred to the contractor or exhibitor should any “dumping” occur.  

Please note that oil must not be disposed of in general waste bins, toilets or sinks. The organisers have arranged for an oil drum to be situated at the back of the hall (outside of the show). Please only dispose of oil here or take the oil away with you. For any further information please contact Ms Kayleigh Williams at Kayleigh.williams@montgomerygroup.com

If you would like to arrange for the cleaning company to dispose of your waste, then please contact Multitask Develoment Pte Ltd. In particular, please note that the wholesale “dumping” of magazines and brochures at the end of the event will be charged for as this will incur skip costs from the venue.  Please take them away with you. 

Cloakroom

There are no cloakroom facilities onsite. All belongings will need to remain on your stand.

Code of Practice

During the open days please ensure your stand is manned throughout the day and all exhibits remain on display during the open hours. In order that no discourtesy is shown to last minute visitors, there must be no dismantling of any displays or exhibits before breakdown commences approx. 1730hrs on Friday 24 June.

Customs Clearance & Freight Forwarding

All goods to be imported for display at the exhibition must be declared to Customs at the entry point and must be covered by proper Customs documents. These documents should be retained at the exhibition as they are subject to Customs inspection onsite.  Please refer to www.customs.gov.sg/businesses/importing-goods/overview.

Please note, the import of alcohol/wine and tobacco products is complicated, so it is recommended that DB Schenker be contacted in advance so that they can advise and assist you accordingly. 

The exception for this is wine. As SFFA & RPBA 2022 is under the BEiS scheme from STB, this means wines (under Annex A) are exempt from duties and taxes, BUT it will be based on a maximum per label 2.25 litre per show day. All other excess bottles (including hard liquor) will have to pay the relevant duties and taxes depending on the HS code and as well as alcohol content. For further details please click here. If in doubt, please contact Ms Kayleigh Williams or  jea-hee.won@dbschenker.com.

For clearance of goods/ exhibits, please contact our official freight contractor for more information/advice:

Delivery of Goods

No deliveries can be made prior to the first day of tenancy (Monday 20 June 2022).

If you are not bringing your products to the venue yourself, the Organisers recommend that you use the services of DB Schenker, especially if sending goods from overseas (see Customs Clearance). Private cars will not be allowed access to make deliveries. Using the services of a courier company can sometimes be precarious and packages could get delayed in customs. 

All exhibits and materials must be delivered carriage paid to the exhibitor at the stand or to DB Schenker at the show. The goods should be clearly marked with your company name and stand number, as follows:

Attn: (add your company name and stand number)
C/O DB Schenker (add this if you have arranged to have your goods delivered to DB Schenker)
Show: (add the show you are exhibiting a e.g. Speciality & Fine Food Asia/ Restaurant, Pub & Bar Asia, Meat & Poultry Asia etc)
Suntec Singapore, Hall 403 – 405, Level 4
1 Raffles Boulevard
Suntec City 
Singapore 039593 

Please ensure that a representative of your company is onsite to receive and sign for deliveries.  The Organisers are unable to sign for goods on your behalf.  This is particularly relevant if you should decide to use a courier to deliver goods, who will often not leave them unless they have a signature. 

If you are making deliveries during the open days of the exhibition, these can only be made between 08:00 – 09:30hrs, before the exhibition opens. You must receive confirmation that this is okay from the Organisers - please contact Ms Kayleigh Williams at Kayleigh.williams@montgomerygroup.com as soon as possible. Please note Suntec cannot take responsibility for any deliveries.
 

Dilapidations/ Damage to Hall 

Please remember you are responsible for making good any damage caused to the fabric of the exhibition buildings - by you, your agents, or your contractors. It is in your own interests that you should satisfy yourselves as to the condition of your stand site before the building of your stand and after its clearance.

Please note, all Space Only/ Raw Space stands must complete the Performance Bond Form and return by deadline Tuesday 10 May 2022 via email to Sunyau Expo Pte Ltd on SFFA2022@sunyauexpo.com.sg. See more information under Space Only/ Raw Space Regulations – Performance Bond section.

Exhibitors should only work within the confines of their stand. No doors or windows shall open outwards onto an aisle. The exhibitor should not engage in any activity or employ any person or device that tends to create unreasonable congestion in the gangways in the opinion of the Organisers.

Insurance

Montgomery Asia Events Rules & Regulations require all exhibitors to have a minimum level of insurance cover (SGD 5,000,000 or equivalent) in order to participate in a Montgomery Asia event.  Montgomery Asia Events do not provide the option to add a standard exhibitor insurance package policy to meet these minimum requirements.  

Exhibitors who do not currently have the required cover may wish to buy insurance from Hiscox Event Assured. Exhibitors without cover are under no obligation to purchase the required cover in this way and we are not recommending you use Hiscox.

For further information on insuring your stand at the event or to buy an exhibitor insurance package policy, please go to https://www.hiscox.co.uk/event-insurance/exhibitor-insurance.

Please note that, as the main contracted stand-holder, you are responsible for any loss, damages, claims, etc. arising out of your stand and the activities of any stand-sharers at the Exhibition.

If there are other Companies sharing your stand, it is in your interest to ensure that they also hold adequate insurance cover.


Lost Property

Any lost property found should be deposited with our onsite security company (Fervour), please take it to the Organisers Office in the first instance.  If you have lost anything then please report it to the Organisers Office and should the lost property be found, we will contact you. 


Noise

Exhibitors creating excessive noise that disturbs adjacent exhibitors will be asked to reduce the sound to an acceptable level (a maximum of 60dB at the edge of your stand). If this is not complied with to the satisfaction of the Organisers, they will be asked to cease such activities in the interest of the overall exhibition.


Organisers Office

The Organisers Office will be located near the entrance. This will be manned each day during the build-up, open and breakdown periods from 0800 – 1800hrs (except Monday 20 June will be from 1200 – 1800hrs). 

Organisers Office number: +65 87209729

Sampling Requirements and Conditions

For sampling requirements and safety regulations, please visit the Food Sampling & Safety Regulations section of the manual.

You will need to make sure that your stand staff comply with the current Singapore Food Agency (SFA) Regulations governing the handling and sampling of food products as detailed on the Singapore Food Agency Website and in the NEA Food Handler’s Handbook.

Selling on stands is NOT permitted. Money exchange at Trade Shows is strictly forbidden.  


Security


Security will begin at 1200hrs on Monday 20 June, with 24-hour security commencing from 8am on Tuesday 21st June. It is therefore recommended that portable exhibits are not delivered to the hall before this time.  This cover (and our tenancy) will end at 0200hrs on Saturday 25 June, therefore it is essential that nothing of value be left on stands overnight on Friday 24 June; this includes product, graphics, and furniture or display items of any type.

Exhibition halls are vulnerable places, particularly during the build-up and breakdown periods.  Your stand is an open shop without windows or doors.  Please consider how you can look after your products and belongings whilst onsite.

Exhibitors requiring additional security for their stand should contact Fervour on +65 6759 1003. 

Security Advice for Exhibitors:

  1. Delegate one member of staff to be responsible for safety and security at the exhibition.
  2. Do not leave cash, handbags, mobile phones, valuables, etc. in unlocked drawers, cupboards or on exhibits on the stand.Do not leave wallets or purses in unattended jackets or coats.
  3. Do not ask a neighboring exhibitor to look after the stand as they may get too busy with their own stand.
  4. Exhibitors should arrive prior to the official opening time and not leave their exhibition stand at night before visitors are clear of the show.
  5. Check all lockable desks and cupboards before leaving the stand.
  6. Any exhibitor with small valuables, which they wish to leave on their stand, should provide themselves with a lockable steel cabinet or other safe storage area.
  7. Do not lock goods away in hired cabinets on breakdown evening.The furniture contractor will be collecting these items on Friday at 2200hrs.
  8. Any exhibitor wishing to change their stand exhibits during the open period must do so between 0800 - 0930am daily. Contractor or exhibitor passes will be required for this period.
  9. Please note that build-up and breakdown days are high-risk periods.Exhibitors are recommended to work in pairs so that the stand is manned at all times.Do not assume your goods are safe just because you have packed them up and have left the stand to get your vehicle.
  10. Please report anything of a suspicious nature immediately to the Organisers office.
  11. Please do not hesitate to check with the Organisers on any security problems or queries.
  12. Exhibitors sustaining losses must notify the Organisers Office and the Security department immediately, giving all relevant information. Do not wait until you have cleared site.


Special Exhibits or Activities

Please note any company intending to exhibit cars, motorbikes, any engine driven vehicle (see also Vehicles on Stands), balloons, water features etc., or have activities on the stand not previously covered in this manual, such as massaging, tarot readings etc., must advise the Organisers in writing as special rules and regulations and licensing arrangements may apply.

For example, balloons may be used as part of the stand display.  However, the topside of the inflated balloon must not exceed the stand build height limit of 4m, neither should it any time be released into the roof.  Exhibitors are liable for any charges incurred whilst retrieving, or damage caused by, loose balloons.

With the exception of Guide Dogs, no animals are permitted in the exhibition halls at any time. Under no circumstances may live animals be used as a stand attraction or demonstration at this event.


Stand Sharers

It is essential that we know if, and how many, companies are sharing a stand.  The stand holder is responsible for advising the Organisers of any company sharing their stand. To advise the Organisers of sharing companies please contact either Ms Doreen Soh, Sarah Nadhirah or Patricia Khoo


Storage

Exhibitors wishing to store empty packing cases for the duration of the exhibition should contact our official lifting contractor directly for a quotation:

DB Schenker
Ms Jea-Hee Won 
T: +65 6549 1255 
E: jea-hee.won@dbschenker.com

By utilising the storage offered through the official contractor this will help speed up the breakdown procedure.  DB Schenker will be able to deliver the empty packing cases to your stand before your own vehicle may have gained access to loading area, thus enabling you to continue packing goods and be ready for loading as soon as your vehicle arrives.  

On no account should exhibitors store product or empty packing cases behind their stands as this presents a fire risk.  Offending items are liable to be removed and destroyed without warning.  All product storage, for the duration of the show, should be contained within the stand area.  Alternatively, exhibitors can re-stock their stand each morning between 0800 and 0930hrs. 

Please note that the Organisers are not able to provide accessible product storage for the open period of the exhibition.


Storage – Frozen & Chilled

If you require frozen or chilled storage, please complete and return the Lowe Order Form or contact Lowe Refrigeration. Please note that the Organisers are unable to facilitate free of charge space on the exhibition floor for cold storage units. If you enter into an agreement with Lowe part of their costs will be for the floor space (at the commercial rate).
