From 1st June, the ATA Carnet process will transition to a digital system, changing how businesses manage temporary exports for goods moving overseas. For companies attending exhibitions, events, demonstrations, or transporting professional equipment, ATA Carnets remain one of the most efficient ways to move goods across international borders without paying duties or taxes.

The shift to digital documentation is designed to make the process faster, more transparent, and easier to manage from start to finish. For drivers, this should also mean reduced waiting times, helping keep shipments moving without unnecessary delays.

However, with these improvements comes a greater focus on compliance. Accuracy in documentation and a clear understanding of the updated procedures will be essential to avoid disruption at the border.

At Simpex, our experienced group customs offices in the UK and France support customers throughout the entire process. From preparing and submitting ATA Carnet documentation to advising on the latest digital requirements, we ensure shipments are handled correctly and efficiently.

ATA Carnets are widely used for a range of temporary export movements, including exhibitions and trade shows, professional equipment, commercial samples, and sporting or cultural goods.

Temporary exports don’t need to be complicated. With the right support and expertise, goods can move seamlessly across borders without delays or added risk.
