ATA Carnet
The ATA carnet is designed to help enterprises enter and trade in foreign markets. Successfully used for over 50 years, the ATA carnet (Admission Temporaire/Temporary Admission) is an international customs document that considerably simplifies the temporary admission of goods to third countries.
Use an ATA carnet to save money, time, and effort!
• The ATA carnet authorises you to import your product to one or more foreign countries accepting the carnet several times before the date of expiry without paying the foreign customs authority the customs bond that is usually required in ordinary temporary import procedures.
• Getting an ATA carnet helps you previously calculate your costs as you need not expect any further amount other than the chamber costs (e.g. import customs, tax or other duties) in the import or transit countries that accept the carnet, provided you use it properly.
• The ATA carnet helps you cross borders smoothly as you must submit the same previously completed customs form for each customs clearance in each accepting country during your trip.
• Getting an ATA carnet takes a short time and it is easy to use.
• The ATA carnet is available for both individuals and enterprises.
• The ATA carnet lists the goods for which you may start a temporary import, export or forwarding procedure several times as necessary until the date of expiry, including for partial cargos.
Eligible goods
The ATA carnet is valid for a wide range of goods that are temporarily exported from the European Union’s customs area for use at expos, fairs, and presentations, as professional equipment*, for sports, educational, scientific, and cultural purposes, and as personal belongings, etc. and are meant for re-import in an unchanged condition.
