How to Expand your Global Footprint with Carnets
A Carnet or ATA Carnet is an international customs and temporary export-import document. It is used to clear customs in more than 80 countries and territories without paying duties and import taxes on merchandise that will be re-exported within 12 months, benefiting your company by reducing costs. Carnets are also known as Merchandise Passports or Passports for Goods.  Virtually all goods, including commercial samples, professional equipment, and items for tradeshows and exhibitions, including display booths, are covered by ATA Carnets.

• Every year, approximately 190,000 ATA Carnets are issued worldwide covering goods valued at US$ 26 billion. 
• ATA Carnets are widely welcomed by countries wishing to boost international cooperation and take full advantage of the global economy. 

During the Zoom Roundtable you will be able to listen, learn and participate in the Questions & Answers session so you can determine where you can use an ATA Carnet.  Additionally, you will learn about selling the goods that are covered under the ATA Carnet.
Our presenters have experience in all aspects of the ATA Carnet process and administration.  You will learn what benefits and advantages are offered by the use of an ATA Carnet.  We will cover how to apply for an ATA Carnet, and the time to allow from application to granting of the ATA Carnet. Perhaps most importantly behind the advantages of the Carnet, how much does it cost to attain an ATA Carnet.
Relatively new is the eATA, and you will gain valuable insight into the eATA system and how it works.
