ATA Carnet
Simplifying Temporary Exports Worldwide
An ATA Carnet is a crucial tool in today’s globalised economy. Often described as a “passport for goods,” it simplifies international customs procedures by replacing standard documentation and duties, enabling smooth temporary imports into more than 80 countries worldwide.
ATA Carnets are widely used by professionals and organisations across numerous industries including media and production, exhibitions and events, sports teams, surgeons, architects, artists, technicians, engineers, educational institutions, entertainers and many more.
At Mapcargo, our specialist ATA Carnet team provides expert guidance on logistical requirements and assists with your application to mitigate duties and taxes while optimising global customs processing times for temporary exportations.
