In this post, we will tell you everything you need to know about it. Keep on reading! What is the ATA Carnet? The ATA Carnet is an international customs and temporary export-import document which allows you to move goods without paying duties or import taxes during the course of a year. This document can be used by shippers, companies or professionals who are going to work abroad, self-employed or employed by others and who need to transport goods or equipment to other countries, as in the case of audio visual production companies who wish to film in the Canary Islands. Almost any type of merchandise can be transported with an ATA Carnet: computers, tools, photography materials, filming materials, musical instruments, industrial machinery, vehicles and sound systems, among others. In other words, any merchandise which is non-perishable, consumable or materials to be transformed into other articles. How does the ATA Carnet work? The main advantage of obtaining an ATA Carnet is the comfort of moving your merchandise without wait or unforeseen factors in customs. With just one document you will be able to transport your materials among the different territories which are subject to customs without having to manage specific documentation for temporary exportation and importation for each country. With this document, which facilitates temporary imports and exports into foreign countries, you will be able to enter and leave the territory without difficulties. ATA Carnets offer some advantages which deserve a special mention: The elimination of the Value Added Tax (VAT) and customs rights. The owners of the Carnet won’t have to provide a customs’ security deposit for each country. With this document the deposit is unique, regardless of the number of countries to visit. This way, you can manage customs’ formalities upfront and with a pre-fixed cost. Carnets simplify the customs’ process avoiding bureaucratic procedures. Thus, the importers and exporters will use a unique document for all the customs’ formalities within a wide range or countries. The ATA Carnet can be used for various trips during the course of a year and ensures the return of all the materials and merchandise to their countries of origin without delays. Despite all these advantages, the ATA Carnet involves a time investment to process all of the required documentation which does not include the costs for transport, that is why we highly recommend the alternative of renting audio visual materials from a local service production company. This can save you time and money and you will count on the technical support and professional backup from locals to face any difficulties […]
