ATA Carnet is an international customs and temporary export-import document that allows you to clear customs in 84 countries and territories without paying duties and import taxes. It serves as a passport for goods and is also known as a Merchandise Passport. With ATA Carnet, you can temporarily import goods into foreign countries and re-import them into the US duty-free and tax-free for up to one year.

It also acts as the US Certificate of Registration of goods upon re-importation. Most types of merchandise, including commercial samples, professional equipment, and goods for fairs and exhibitions, can be listed on a Carnet. However, consumable items such as food, seeds, and explosives cannot be transported under a Carnet.

ATA Carnet is accepted in 87 countries and territories and is valid for up to one year from its issue date, with exceptions for certain countries.
