ATA Carnet
The ATA carnet (Admission temporaire/Temporary Admission) is an international customs document which can be used – instead of the national customs documents usually required – for the temporary importation, exportation and transit of goods.
The ATA carnet exempts the holder from providing guarantees when crossing the border. It can be used for multiple border crossings and is valid for one year.
Used by more than 70 countries, this “passport for goods” makes temporary export possible, more particularly for trade samples, goods intended for tradeshows, professional equipment, cars or horses. In the canton of Vaud, the CVCI is appointed to issue it.
