If your business frequently ships goods abroad for exhibitions, events, or temporary professional use, the ATA Carnet is your ultimate travel companion.

Known as the “passport for goods,” this powerful tool takes the stress out of international customs procedures, saving both time and money.

The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document that allows the temporary import of goods into over 80 countries, without paying duties and taxes. Valid for up to one year, it covers items like professional equipment to products showcased at exhibitions and trade fairs.

Why Choose an ATA Carnet?

• Speed through customs with a single document recognised worldwide
• Avoid costly duties and taxes on temporary imports
• Make multiple international trips with one carnet
• No Customs Declarations required, as the customs clearance process eliminates the need for traditional customs documentation

Whether you’re a business owner, athlete, musician, film crew, or technician, if you’re crossing borders with equipment or promotional materials, the ATA Carnet ensures your journey is smooth and efficient. No unexpected delays. No red tape!!
