Exhibition Equipment ATA Carnets
The best way to ensure your inventory makes it on time is to label each item with the name of the event, the venue, and a contact number
As an exhibitor at a business trade show, you may be wondering how to get your products to their destination. You need to avoid any delays or inconveniences at the border crossing so that your exhibit will arrive in time for its appearance at the scheduled event. Luckily, there is a type of travel document known as the ATA carnet that can help make sure this does not happen!
The ATA carnet is accepted in 87 countries across the trading world and it has been a staple of trade shows such as those held during fashion galas and exhibitions. Since Brexit came to a close on 1st January 2021, this includes the EU, with the acceptance of ATA carnets for travel throughout the EU now standard practice when traveling abroad with goods.
Exhibition Equipment ATA Carnets Benefits
Most goods or equipment that return to the UK can be shipped in an export container. Not only are they useful for ROI, but they are also convenient:
You do not have to pay duties, taxes, or a cash bond.
- They are easily obtainable and there is no need for additional documents.
- All travel documents are issued before departure, reducing travel delays.
- The cost of your trip is known before you depart, in your local currency.
- Suitable for numerous countries and multiple journeys.
The main benefit of a business plan is that it protects you from potential snags, or hidden costs so that you can focus on your real purpose. It stands to reason that exhibitions and trade shows are the most accepted category of ATA carnets worldwide.
