We run our own ATA carnet, with 300+ pieces of our own kit on it. Our ATA carnet service in the UK is for IT, AV and event equipment going abroad and coming back: we prepare the equipment list and the paperwork, brief the driver and carry the kit. It all goes from Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire.
An ATA carnet lets kit leave the UK and come back without duty and VAT. It has to be right before the van leaves, because a wrong serial number or a missing item is how a border stops you.
If you'd rather hand it over, we'll do the preparation and the driving. If you'd rather do the form yourself, we'll brief the driver and carry the kit.
For a tour, the tour carnet prep checklist covers the preparation, the border and the return.
We run our own ATA carnet for our own tools, manual handling kit and flight cases, with more than 300 items on it.
Since 21 May 2022, anyone carrying goods for hire or reward in vans over 2.5t in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland needs a Standard International Goods Vehicle Operator's Licence, and we hold one. We're ISO 9001:2015 certified and members of the Road Haulage Association. Cover is arranged for each job to the value of your equipment, up to £0.5m without referral.
Public liability is no less than £2 million. See accreditations.
The Tour Carnet Prep Checklist helps you prepare the information an ATA Carnet needs before equipment leaves the UK for a tour, live event, exhibition or broadcast job. It covers the preparation, the border, the tour itself and the return.
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.
List the kit with descriptions, serial numbers and values, then apply through a chamber of commerce. They issue it. We can help with the list and the paperwork, and take care of the driving and the stamps.
Through a chamber of commerce, with your equipment list. Get the list right first, because every item must match what is travelling. Start with the ATA carnet equipment list, and read what is an ATA carnet for the background.
Temporary admission is a customs procedure you apply for country by country. A carnet is a single document that covers all the countries it names. For a tour through several countries, the carnet is usually simpler.

Sometimes. A digital carnet can be quicker than paper, and in July 2026 we produced one on a 24 hour service. Tell us the dates and we'll say what's realistic.
The issuer sets the fee and the guarantee, and both depend on the value of the kit. Our guide to what an ATA carnet is goes through the factors. Our own charge for the preparation and the driving is part of the quote.
Tell us what's going, where to and when it's coming back, and we'll come back with questions or a quote.
