ATA Carnet what are they?

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.
