Permit the duty-free and tax-free temporary export and import of goods for up to one year.
When showing samples to customers or potential customers, exhibiting at a trade fair or transporting equipment to provide a service, choose the simple and proven way to move business goods to foreign lands - the ATA Carnet, the Passport for Goods.
Using a Carnet eliminates the need for a Custom declaration at border points and the deposit of a guarantee or bond in the country of temporary importation. It can be used for a trip covering more than one country and includes numerous exits and re-entries in the country of origin during the period of the validity of the document. This validity can never exceed one year. Temporary admission under cover of ATA carnets applies to goods, which will be re-exported in the same state in which they were imported.
You can use an ATA Carnet for the following categories of goods:
-
Commercial Samples
-
Professional Equipment
-
Goods suitable for presentation or use at trade fairs, shows, and exhibitions.
