Since we began issuing ATA Carnets to the Uncrewed Vehicle Systems (UVS) sector thirteen years ago, the unmanned systems sector, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other unmanned systems, has experienced significant growth, driven by advancements in technology and increasing applications in both commercial and military sectors. This growth is expected to continue, and international markets are eager for innovative, high-quality UVS technologies. By exploring open international markets seeking new technology with an ATA Carnet, you can gain new sales, foster growth, and increase profits.
Innovation and mobility are central to the sector’s momentum. Trends in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and the development of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft are poised to transform urban and regional transportation. Uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) taxis will be a reality in the not-too-distant future.
Get Your Prototype and Technology into International Markets
UVS technologies serve a wide array of industries and applications, including:
- Search and Rescue
- Agricultural monitoring
- Wildlife conservation
- Aerial photography
- Environmental research
- Infrastructure inspection
- Construction and Surveying
- Disaster response
- Security and Defense
Temporary exportation of your prototypes and UAV stock using an ATA Carnet offers an easy and affordable solution to get the attention of international buyers.
Benefits of Using ATA Carnets
ATA Carnets are a money- and time-saving international trade tool for taking demo equipment, prototypes, exhibits and sales samples abroad temporarily. They are an internationally accepted customs document which allow for temporary importation, import-duty and -tax free.
ATA Carnets are invaluable for demonstrating your products to prospective customers abroad. By transporting your UAVs and UVS technology import-duty and -tax free, you save significantly and allow potential clients to experience your products in their own environments. This firsthand approach is a powerful way to seal the deal.

Our presentation took center stage on the first day of the event: Taking Demo Equipment, Prototypes, and Samples Abroad with the Merchandise Passport—Clear Customs Duty Free, Tax Free, Globally.
A Customer on the XPO Exhibit Floor
While at XPONENTIAL, Kiel connected with Areté, an exhibitor and boomerang carnets’ customer! Lucas Burkholder, Associate Business Development Analyst, (pictured holding a carnet from us) and Jay F. Rouse, Director of Business Development, shared their experience using a Carnet4Cargo with a freight forwarder.
