About this service
Description
Sometimes a company exports goods abroad temporarily and for non-commercial purposes. This can take place in connection with exhibitions or trade fairs, or similar. In such cases, the company can use the ATA carnet instead of an export declaration. The ATA carnet is valid in countries bound by the Customs Convention.
The ATA Carnet can replace export documents in the country of origin and import documents in the temporary country of destination. It also serves as a transit document.
The ATA carnet does not, however, replace other permits related to goods, such as firearms licences.
Apply for the ATA carnet from a chamber of commerce. Present the pre-filled ATA carnet document to Customs for marking purposes.
Further information on chambers of commerce can be obtained from the website of Finland Chamber of Commerce.
How to use it
Present the ATA carnet for confirmation at the Customs well in advance before transporting the goods. You can request for confirmation of the document via Customs booking service in towns with no Customs offices providing customer service.
Visit Customs website for a list of Customs offices offering services by appointment. The customer service points have been listed in the service channels.
