Introduction to ATA Carnet

Are you planning to move props, equipment, or artwork across borders using an ATA Carnet, but feel unsure about where to begin? Or maybe you’re already using one and want to simplify the process?
With the UK no longer part of the EU, transporting goods between the UK and EU now involves customs checks, border controls, and potential taxation. ATA Carnets provide a streamlined, cost-effective way to temporarily move goods across international borders to over 80 countries participating in the ATA Carnet scheme. Join us for a comprehensive webinar that demystifies the process and helps you navigate these changes confidently.
What You’ll Learn:
- When and why to use an ATA Carnet: Understand its true purpose and all the benefits associated with the document.
- Key considerations before applying: Learn about costs, how to use the documentation, and administrative steps to apply for it.
- Practical guidance for border crossings: What to expect, how to prepare and how to process the carnet compliantly.
