China & Morocco will only accept an ATA Carnets for International Exhibitions & India will only accept them for ITPO approved Trade Fairs/Exhibitions. But India have admitted this yet again and will accept Carnet on the production of a letter of invitation from the importer requesting the list of an ATA Carnet.

Heritage Media Services will prepare your ATA Carnet in house at a price that will be cheaper than our competitors. Just call for a quotation.

We can issue a Carnet within 24 hours but if it is a last minute shipment, we can do an express Carnet that can be ready within a couple of hours.

Please feel free to call us for any advise or quotation.

The advantage of shipping professional equipment, samples or exhibition material on ATA Carnets is the simplicity of importation and re-exportation of these consignments. A Carnet can literally save not only time but hundreds of pounds in duty and taxes.

The ATA Carnet system is a perfect illustration of how close cooperation between business and Customs can promote international trade.

There are almost no limits to what an ATA Carnet can cover as long as it will be returning to the country of issue in the same state as it was exported.

It has always been a surprise to us at Heritage Media Services that there are not more companies or individual travellers jumping at the chance to use the ATA Carnet system. The money and time saved on overseas trips to these Carnet countries easily covers the cost.

The cost to produce a Carnet is governed by various factors. The value of the goods, the number of countries to be visited and the time that the Carnet is required to run. If the same goods are travelling all year then the Carnet could last up to its maximum time of twelve months.

At Heritage Media Services, we can produce a Carnet in 24 hours and in very urgent cases, within 2 hours. This would of course depend on the size of the list of goods needed on the Carnet. Armed with their Carnet, travellers can hand carry their equipment, samples or goods and sail through Customs especially on returning to their country of domicile in the EEC.
