ATA Carnet is an international customs document that facilitates the temporary movement of goods across borders without the need for customs payment. 

Carnets act like a passport for your commercial samples, professional equipment, goods for exhibition or any other items which you may wish to take outside the UK and bring into another country.

An ATA Carnet allows you to: 

• Temporarily export items to use, trade or for an event outside the UK
• Return items to the UK following their temporary use outside the UK without having to pay customs duties or taxes
• Cover the temporary international transit of your items whether it is a single transit or multiple stops before the final temporary destination

The main benefit of an ATA Carnet is that instead of having to complete different customs documents in each country that you visit, the ATA Carnet covers your items under a single procedure. 

You don’t have to complete customs declarations and have the added reassurance that any customs charges have been bonded by the carnet system – no more financial worries if your goods are only used for their intended purpose and within the specified period.

In essence, an ATA Carnet is a simple, fast and effective way to bring carnets into your business so you can move your equipment, samples or goods quickly and wherever international business opportunities call.

Temporary export or import covers a broad range of items. 

The ATA Carnet provides a simple way to deal with customs formalities where your business may need flexibility to attend events or fulfill contracts overseas.

Typical goods which can be covered by an ATA Carnet include:

• Commercial Samples – Show your products to potential customers or business partners from around the world

• Exhibition and Trade Fair Goods – Whether it’s an art display at Art Basel, or taking part in a trade show in Dubai, the ATA Carnet provides a simple customs process for all the elements involved, including booths, banners and high value prototypes and demonstration models.

• Professional Equipment – Temporary movement of equipment used for film shoots, sporting events, photography shoots, stage shows or equipment for trade fairsIt is worth noting that different countries can have different requirements about what can be included on an ATA Carnet. 

There can be special conditions or restrictions for some goods so always best to check requirements in your destination country first.

In the case of items which are unique or may fall in a grey area our team is on hand to provide tailored advice so your goods are properly covered – removing any guess work and minimising risk of customs fines. 

On arrival or departure with the goods covered by an ATA Carnet, you must show the carnet itself to customs officers. 

They will stamp and formally record your entry or exit for each country you enter (or re-enter if it is a transit) – you can think of the carnet like a passport for your equipment, samples or goods. 

Ensure that you have the physical ATA Carnet document with you each time you pass through customs so the process can run as smoothly as possible and your paperwork is up to date.
