What is an ATA Carnet?


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.”


What is an ATA Carnet Used for?

  • Professional equipment (e.g. cameras, tools, instruments)
  • Commercial samples (e.g. product prototypes for demos or trade shows)
  • Goods for exhibitions or trade fairs

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.

ATA Carnet Countries?

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.
