What is a Carnet?

Carnets are used to allow the temporary entry of items without having to pay duty or taxes.  This is particularly useful for when shipping tools/equipment, commercial samples, or goods for exhibitions and conventions.

Carnets can be used in 86 countries (and counting).  A carnet is a physical document that acts like a passport for cargo.  Simply present it to Customs officers at both the departing and arriving airports.

To get started, contact Cargocentric and we’ll help you apply for a Carnet.
