An ATA Carnet is an international customs document that allows you to temporarily import and export goods without paying duties, taxes, or import/export fees in participating countries. It’s basically a “passport for goods.”
It’s valid for up to a year and works in about 85 countries. As long as you bring the items back home within that time, you don’t have to deal with customs fees in each country.
As of April 2025, ATA Carnets are accepted in over 85 countries and territories worldwide, with more expected to join as agreements are being negotiated.
