Special customs procedures
ATA Carnet & Temporary Admission
Support with moving professional equipment, commercial samples and goods for exhibitions or similar uses across borders on a temporary basis.
The ATA Carnet is an international customs document that can simplify the temporary export and import of goods in the countries that take part in the system. One document can cover several border crossings, without a separate customs declaration at each border and, provided the conditions are met, without paying duties and taxes on goods that come back.
It is often used for professional equipment, commercial samples and goods for trade fairs, exhibitions, conferences or demonstrations. The carnet is issued by the competent body, usually a chamber of commerce, and its terms of use depend on the countries and the goods.
Where an ATA Carnet does not fit, temporary admission through a customs declaration can be considered. We help you choose the right route and prepare the list of goods.
Send us the details of your case and we will tell you what the procedure involves and what is needed.
