ATA Carnets for Industrial and Defense Applications Can Save Time and Money.

Aerospace exhibitions, water purification projects, electrical power plants, telecommunications installations and transportation development in foreign countries can benefit from using ATA Carnets to ship equipment to and from the project or exhibition site.

By using an ATA Carnet for your temporary exports you can avoid paying duties and taxes in 70 countries and expedite the customs clearance process. Additionally you will avoid posting a bond or cash security upon importation to a foreign country.

Special Note for Industrial and Defense Contractors:

An ATA Carnet cannot replace the DSP-73 (Application for the Temporary Export of Unclassified Defense Articles) or any documentation and compliance requirements required by government agencies. The only exception is the US Customs Form 4455. An ATA Carnet can replace the CF4455 and in that instance the ATA Carnet serves as the Certificate of Registration upon reimportation to the US.

For additional information about export compliance and technology transfer contact your Freight Forwarder or the Society for International Affairs.
