ATA Carnet Courier Services – San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland & San Jose 

If you're planning to travel with goods temporarily across international borders — for a trade show, demonstration, or professional project — you'll likely need an ATA Carnet.

Here’s how to get started:

📝 Step-by-Step: How to Obtain an ATA Carnet

1. Identify the Countries You’re Visiting
   ATA Carnets are accepted in over 80 countries. You’ll only need a carnet if your destination country participates in the ATA system.
   
   

2. Apply Through an Authorized Issuer
   In the U.S., ATA Carnets are issued by the U.S. Council for International Business (USCIB).

3. Prepare a List of Goods (General List)
   You’ll need to submit a detailed inventory, including:

   • Descriptions

   • Quantities

   • Serial numbers or identifying marks

   • Values
     
     

4. Submit Your Application
   Applications are usually processed within 1–2 business days.
   Expedited services are available.

5. Receive Your Physical Carnet Booklet
   Once issued, your carnet will be delivered to you by courier. You’ll need to present it to CBP upon entry and exit of each participating country.
