What is an ATA Carnet and how can I obtain one?
An ATA Carnet is an international customs document issued by Chambers of Commerce in over 60 countries. An ATA Carnet facilitates the temporary duty free admission of goods by eliminating the difficulties encountered in completing a customs declaration at the time of importation into each country, and in providing adequate, on-the-spot security for the payment of any customs duties and other taxes chargeable should the goods not subsequently be re-exported. The issuing Chamber becomes guarantor for the goods under the Carnet. In effect, the Carnet acts as a passport for your goods as they transit customs boundaries out of Australia, into and out of overseas countries, and back into Australia.
