Get your ATA Carnet from the United States or Canada
India accepts ATA Carnets for commercial samples, professional equipment, and exhibitions. Administered by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), the process is well-established at major airports. India is a leading destination for Bollywood co-productions, international trade fairs, and professional expeditions.
India is not an EU member. Each entry and exit must be individually processed by Indian customs (CBIC). Allow extra time for clearance, especially for film equipment and large shipments. Detailed, accurate item descriptions are essential.
