The ATA Carnet is an internationally standardized customs document established by the World Customs Organization (WCO) for the temporary import and export of goods.
With an ATA Carnet, goods can enjoy a range of customs facilitation benefits in participating countries and territories, including exemption from customs guarantees, import duties and taxes, import and export licenses, customs declaration forms, and, in many cases, simplified customs clearance procedures without requiring a local customs broker. Because of these advantages, the ATA Carnet is widely known in international trade as the “Passport for Goods” or the “Duty-Free Customs Clearance Certificate.”

The ATA Carnet is widely used for temporary international movements of goods in activities such as international exhibitions and trade fairs, engineering projects, professional equipment, scientific and educational exchanges, as well as cultural and sporting events.

The ATA Carnet mainly covers three categories of goods:

1.Professional equipment

2.Commercial samples

3.Goods intended for exhibition, trade fairs, or similar

An ATA Carnet is valid for one year from the date of issue. During its validity period, the carnet holder may use the same ATA Carnet multiple times to temporarily import and export the listed goods to and from multiple participating countries and territories, as well as transit through them, without the need to apply for a new customs document for each journey. This greatly simplifies customs procedures, reduces administrative costs, and saves valuable time for international exhibitors and businesses.

Singapore Exhibition Logistics and ATA Carnet Services

Singapore is one of Asia’s leading destinations for international exhibitions, trade shows, conferences, and business events. Every year, thousands of exhibitors from China transport products, commercial samples, machinery, and display equipment to Singapore to showcase their businesses, meet potential buyers, and expand into international markets.

For Chinese exhibitors, these temporary imports and exports are commonly handled using an ATA Carnet, which allows exhibition goods to enter Singapore without paying import duties or taxes, provided the goods are re-exported after the event. Once the exhibition is completed, the exhibits, samples, and equipment can be shipped back to China using the same ATA Carnet, making the entire process faster, more cost-effective, and compliant with customs regulations.
