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.

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.
