Detailed information on the access and deposit regulations during the setup and dismantling periods as well as throughout the trade show will soon be available here in our traffic guide. Please also share this information with your stand builders, co-exhibitors and logistics partners to help ensure smooth operations on site.
Please also note that all vehicle occupants must present a valid ticket or pass when entering the exhibition grounds. Persons without a valid ticket or appropriate pass will be directed to the online Exhibitor Portal, where tickets can be purchased.
Important: Before travelling, please check the latest information regarding the reconstruction of the Funkturm motorway interchange as well as the official travel service information page.
Pedestrian entrances during setup and dismantling
During the setup phase, pedestrians can access the exhibition grounds via the entrances SCH7, hall 21 and hub27. Please use only these entrances to ensure smooth access to the exhibition grounds. All entrances are also marked on the site map.
Entry to the exhibition grounds for set-up and dismantling is only possible by registering and booking a loading zone!
With our digital booking system “VisiFair”, you can plan stress-free and on schedule. The time slots allocated to the loading zones significantly reduce congestion at our gates, saving you valuable time during set-up and dismantling.
Loading zones can be booked via the following link: visifair-bookings.messe-berlin.de
This is how the loading zone booking works:
1. registration: You must first register on the platform if you do not yet have a user account.
2. login: Once you have successfully registered, you can log in with your access data.
3. select event: Before you can book a loading zone, you must register for the desired event. This is done in the “Upcoming events” section. --> ITB Berlin 2026

5. book a time slot: Within the “Registered events” you can now select and book an available time slot on a loading zone.

Traffic information for exhibitors and suppliers
When planning your deliveries, please take into account the current traffic situation at the Funkturm motorway junction. Due to construction work, the route for heavy goods vehicles coming from the A115 has been changed. As a result, increased traffic volumes are to be expected.
Please allow additional travel time and consider this when booking loading zones for access to the exhibition grounds.
Before starting your journey, we recommend checking the website of the Verkehrsinformationszentrale (VIZ). There you will find a daily updated overview of the current traffic situation in Berlin, including information on roadworks, closures, and disruptions.

Customs clearance for exhibitors from non-EU countries
To support a smooth and timely customs clearance of your goods at the exhibition grounds, we would like to draw your attention to the following important points:
1. Submission of documents
In order to allow the customs authorities to review the documents in advance, the following documents should ideally be submitted to the Exhibition Customs Clearance Office via your exhibition freight forwarder no later than 14 days before the start of the exhibition:
- Commercial invoice or pro forma invoice with realistic and comprehensible values of the goods
- Proof of freight costs from the country of dispatch to Berlin
- Packing list / cargo manifest
- If applicable, additional delivery or accompanying documents
- If applicable, price lists (for trade fairs with on-site sales)
This advance review can help clarify potential queries or discrepancies at an early stage and avoid delays in the customs clearance process.
2. Quality and plausibility of the documents
For efficient customs clearance, the following aspects are particularly important:
- Complete and consistent documentation
- Realistic values of the goods (no symbolic or obviously undervalued amounts)
- Plausible and transparent freight and transport costs
- Carefully and correctly completed documents
Implausible information or missing evidence may lead to delays or require further inspections.
3. Recommendations for a smooth process
We recommend that you:
- Contact your exhibition freight forwarder at an early stage
- Internally check your documents for completeness and plausibility
- Comply with the recommended 14-day deadline wherever possible
- Forward this information to your logistics or export team as well
If you have any further questions, please contact our logistics partner Schenker, who will be happy to assist you with all organizational steps. Schenker contact details:
