ATA Carnet Equipment List

The ATA Carnet Equipment List is an Excel workbook for gathering the information an ATA Carnet needs. It is a working tool for the equipment list, which is where most customs delays begin. It is not the official carnet form.

It is written for production managers, tour managers, logistics coordinators and equipment owners moving audio, lighting, video, backline and staging equipment abroad temporarily.

The workbook has an equipment sheet with a row for each item: description, quantity, make, model, serial number or unique ID, case, country of origin, value and currency. A flag column points out vague descriptions such as "equipment" or "cases", missing serial numbers and missing values. A summary sheet totals the lines, the quantity and the value in each currency, and shows what has been checked at loading and on return. Other sheets cover the route and border stamps, the pre-departure and return checks, contacts and supporting documents.

Every item on the carnet must match the goods physically travelling, and the carnet issuer sets the final format. Use the workbook to get the list right first, then hand it over.

It works alongside the Tour Carnet Prep Checklist. If you would rather hand the paperwork over, our ATA carnet service prepares the carnet and briefs the driver.
