As with any show, the promoter, police, venue, and the city of Denver are not responsible for any loss or theft of any kind, in any manner, for whatever reason. It is your sole responsibility to obtain loss insurance and to take appropriate security precautions such as using showcases, security cages, cable locks, lock boxes, RF tags, monitoring cameras, tamper alarms, tracker beacons, and the like. Assume that there will be shoplifters present and make smart decisions now to ensure that you are not a victim.

Vendors will also have access to a dedicated locked room in a secured part of the buildings for overnight storage. Please send us a request by email. Davidcmfgs@gmail.com

All overnight parking reservations must be accompanied by a valid driver’s license and vehicle registration for each vehicle remaining on the grounds overnight.

Wi-Fi:

Free WIFI service is available throughout the Denver Coliseum

Importing:

No taxes are due upon importation of minerals, fossils, gems, jewelry and similar items into the USA. Further, there are no duties on minerals and fossils shipped into the USA. Be sure to have a detailed inventory list and use Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code number 97050000. This code corresponds to “Collections and Collectors’ Pieces of Mineralogical or Paleontological Interest”.

Most gems, jewelry, semi-precious / precious stones, and precious metals are also exempt from import duties. However there are many exceptions in which the duty is 10% or more. To learn which specific items are subject to duty, please visit the official United States International Trade Commission website and use the Search function.

If only a few items are subject to duty and the amount is low, it is usually fastest / cheapest to pay the duty. However, in cases where the duty would be high, then the exhibitor can acquire an ATA Carnet at a cost of about $300 (+ surety bond at a cost of 1% of the merchandise value). The ATA Carnet is an international customs document that allows the holder to temporarily (up to one year) import goods without payment of normally applicable duties and taxes, including value-added taxes in more than 71 countries. The ATA Carnet eliminates the need to purchase temporary import bonds. So long as the goods are re-exported within the allotted time frame, no duties or taxes are due. Failure to re-export all goods listed on the ATA Carnet results in the need to pay the applicable duties (as would be the case for items that are sold). The acronym ATA is a combination of French and English phrases “Admission Temporaire/Temporary Admission.”

To learn about and obtain an ATA Carnet please visit the International Chamber of Commerce website.

Vendor Payments and Cancellation:

Booth Payments: Booth fee balances are due in full by the May 31 2025 deadline. Booth reservations not paid in full by this date are subject to our standard $600 late fee. This late fee will not be waived. Failure to pay by the due date restricts vendors for eligibility for any early access services

Vendor Cancellation: Unforeseen circumstances can arise that will prevent a Vendor from attending the show as planned. Therefore, release from contract is possible by emailed request, and refunds subject to the following schedule are available ONLY to Vendors who have submitted the 50% minimum deposit within 30 days of application:
