PL: ATA Carnet | DE: Carnet ATA
Definition
The ATA Carnet (Admission Temporaire / Temporary Admission) is an international customs document facilitating temporary import and export of goods without the need for standard customs declarations and payment of duties in each country visited. The ATA Carnet replaces the customs declaration and simultaneously serves as a customs guarantee.
ATA Carnets can be used for: goods for trade fairs and exhibitions, professional equipment (tools, cameras, instruments), commercial samples, and advertising materials. They cannot be used for goods intended for sale, consumption, or processing. The carnet is valid for 12 months from the date of issue and can cover multiple trips to different countries.
In Poland, ATA Carnets are issued by the Polish Chamber of Commerce (KIG) — a member of the international ATA system managed by ICC and WCO. The ATA system is accepted in over 80 countries worldwide. The ATA Carnet significantly simplifies customs formalities for companies participating in international fairs, conferences, or carrying out projects abroad.
