An ATA Carnet is an international customs document which permits the temporary export and import of goods into a country for up to a one-year period. The documentation provides details of the items being transported and is used to clear customs without paying duties or taxes, acting as a record of the items at point of exit and return to the country of origin.
Bespoke Handling is one of only a selected few logistics companies in the UK with the facilities in place to print and issue ATA Carnets in-house. This process prevents any delays and means that all documents can be created and available within hours.
