Save Time and Money with ATA Carnet

The ATA Carnet, commonly known as the “Merchandise Passport” or “Passport for Goods,” is an international Customs document, which allows for the duty and tax-free temporary import and export. They facilitate international business by avoiding extensive customs procedures, eliminating payment of duties and value-added taxes, and replacing the purchase of temporary import bonds.

This helps US exporters of all sizes, in particular micro, small and medium size businesses (MSMEs), to explore new markets, promote their goods and services, and attend trade shows as well as conferences, and saves time and money in the process.
