ATA Carnet Services
for Global Temporary Imports
The international passport for goods — BorderTek coordinates ATA Carnet applications and border clearance so your equipment, samples, and exhibition materials move duty-free across 80+ countries.
Three Core Categories
ATA Carnets cover three internationally recognized goods categories — each suited to specific types of temporary cross-border movement.
Trade Shows & Exhibitions
Display goods, booth equipment, and demonstration materials — brought in duty-free, returned after the show.
Professional Equipment
Film production gear, broadcast equipment, scientific instruments, and tools used by professionals abroad.
Commercial Samples
Product samples carried for sales presentations, without triggering duties or formal entry.
Specialized Machinery
Equipment transported for installation, testing, or demonstration — then returned to the country of origin.
The International Passport
for Your Goods
Instead of navigating each country's individual temporary importation paperwork, one ATA Carnet covers your entire multi-country itinerary. Customs officers stamp it at each border — no duties, no bonds per country, no surprises.
BorderTek coordinates the process through licensed partner agencies, ensuring your carnet is correctly prepared, validated, and accepted at every point of entry.
