ATA Carnets
International customs documents for temporary export of goods
An ATA Carnet is an international customs document that allows you to temporarily export goods — such as trade show samples, professional equipment or film production gear — to over 87 countries without paying import duties or VAT at the destination.
The Carnet replaces the import and export declarations at each border crossing for the duration of the temporary export, provided the goods are returned within the validity period (typically 12 months). We prepare and process ATA Carnets through the London Chamber of Commerce, ensuring your documentation is correct before you travel.
