The Festival of Quilts Exhibition
When sending an entry to the Festival, you should choose a reputable courier company who offers a track and trace facility. This enables both yourself and Bill Bowden Event Logistics to trace your quilt.
When you have your labels, you should send the quilt to

Valuation
We appreciate the effort that has gone into your quilt but need to advise you that UK Customs may choose to apply UK Import Duty & VAT (Value added Tax) when the entry is imported.
Please note that the higher the value of the quilt, the higher the Duty & VAT.
When arranging your courier, there will be a box on the couriers’ documentation regarding import duties. You should check the box that reads ‘Bill Import Duties to Sender’ as Bill Bowden Event Logistics will not accept these on your behalf and we will have to refuse receipt of your entry.
If you are in the European Union, Import Duty & VAT is not applicable.
Labelling
VERY IMPORTANT Please do not dispatch your quilt unless it is labelled using the entry labels provided. You should contact the organiser if you have not received these.
Receiving Dates
We start receiving from Monday 17th July. Please do not send your quilt before this date.
