A simple, straightforward explanation of the benefits of ATA Carnets for UK exporters. This presentation will help the viewer to understand the benefits of using the international temporary export document, the ATA Carnet. ATA Carnets are widely accepted in 70+ countries and help production companies and crews save money on import duties and taxes on film and video equipment, production kits, camera gear and event equipment. There is special attention to using ATA Carnets to ship production equipment to the EU, post-Brexit.

5. Before Brexit
Currently, no ATA Carnet is needed to avoid import duty
and tax on temporary imports within the EU.
Since 1992 the EU “single market” allowed the free
movement of goods and services within the European
Union, as if it was a single country.
The EU Customs Union is an element of the single
market.
Under these rules goods travel freely throughout the EU
and are not subject to tariffs and customs barriers.

6. A Brexit Key Issue
Will the U.K. leave the EU Customs Union on
March 29, 2019?
No one knows, an agreement is PENDING.
We actively monitor Brexit effects on temporary
exports.
Recommend preparation regardless of 29/03/29
determination.
ATA Carnet ensures equipment can re-enter U.K. even
if not needed to enter another EU country.

7. Pre- & Post-Brexit

Notes de l'éditeur
Introduce yourself with full name and title. Take a poll in the room. How many have used carnets? How many have not used carnets but know what they are? How many don’t really know much about carnets? We will try to address the different levels of experience within the audience.
Mention that you will go further into the details of applying later in the presentation.
These are all the E.U. countries that U.K. production companies do not need carnets for currently.
When applying for the carnet you are also applying for the guarantee. The application is approved online. The General List is approved by email. Other so-called online applications are not fully automated nor integrated with the guarantee application.
Basic Processing Fee is lowest in the U.K. Guarantees are 20-30% less than LCCI.
