ATA Carnets
Arranging the temporary international movement of goods, without complication
Move goods temporarily
with A Temporary Admission Customs Document
An ATA Carnet allows goods to travel between participating countries without paying import duties or taxes, provided they return within the permitted period.
These documents are commonly used for exhibition materials, professional equipment, production assets and commercial samples.
Do you need an ATA carnet?
Red Dot will supply the correct documentation when moving goods internationally on a temporary basis. This will avoid delays at the border and prevent unexpected charges.
Carnets are Typically Required for:
- Exhibitions and trade shows
- Film and broadcast equipment
- Touring productions and events
- Professional technical equipment
- High-value specialist equipment
Accuracy matters
Incorrect descriptions, values or classifications can lead to delays, penalties, or goods being held at customs.
We prepare carnet documentation carefully so everything is correct before the movement begins – and because we manage Freight and Customs alongside carnet preparation, the paperwork stays aligned with the shipment itself.
If questions arise while goods are overseas, our team remains available to help resolve them quickly.
Who we support
Whether moving a small number of items or a full exhibition stand, we guide the process from application through to issue.
Carnets are Typically Required for:
- exhibition organisers
- film and TV production teams
- musicians and touring crews
- event companies
