Introducing the CustomsLink ATA Carnet Service - pay less money, spend less time and reap more benefits.

 

 

An ATA Carnet is a "passport for goods", allowing you to repeatedly move the same professional equipment over a period of 12 months - provided that you are exporting to countries that are part of the ATA system.

Why should you use an ATA Carnet?

These are the key benefits of ATA Carnets for UK businesses:

 

  • Cost-Effective International Trade: 

ATA Carnets eliminate the need for duties and taxes on temporary imports, significantly reducing the financial burden on businesses.

  • Streamlined Customs Clearance: 

They simplify the customs process, cutting through red tape and saving valuable time at international borders.

  • Flexibility and Versatility: 

A single Carnet can be used for multiple movements (entries and exits in participating countries), making it an indispensable tool for businesses involved in international exhibitions, trade shows, and events.

  • Enhanced Security: 

The Carnet system provides a secure method of customs clearance, minimising the risk of delays and complications when transporting goods internationally.

How do you apply for an ATA Carnet?

The ATA Carnet system simplifies the customs process, allowing businesses to save on costs and administrative tasks while ensuring goods move seamlessly across borders.

With CustomsLink, applying for an ATA Carnet couldn’t be simpler. 

Applicants will need to provide a list of the goods to be covered, complete a simple application form, and pay the issuance fee along with a security deposit. 

This deposit acts as a financial guarantee, safeguarding against potential duties and taxes should the goods not be re-exported according to regulations. We offer two methods of security - pay in full via BACS or a Bankers Guarantee, or use the Carnet Security Scheme.

Last week had some difficulties to overcome with a shipment to Belgium especially regarding the POA form. CustomsLink as usual pulled out all the stops for us and Michael saw us through from the start and took us over the line to the end. Big thanks to them and money well spent as far as we are concerned. Couldn't have done without CustomsLink since Brexit!!
