ATA Carnet Details
Is your event outside the UK? Need ATA Carnet details for your hire equipment? Find out how IPS can help you here…
If you need to take IPS trade hire equipment out of the UK for an event, and require details for a Carnet, we can provide data that you can then incorporate into your own documentation. We are not able to complete carnet forms on your behalf.
As we only allocate specific equipment at the time that a job is prepared, specific details such as serial numbers are only available at the time of dispatch. If this information is required before this date, we can allocate and prep kit earlier, although this additional time will be added to the hire duration and will be chargeable accordingly.
The three types of carnet information available from IPS are as follows:
1 – Pre-prep IPS Carnet report
This can be issued once a hire is confirmed. The report will contain Item name, quantity, unit weight, unit value and country of origin information. It will not include flightcase or packaging details.
2 – Post-prep IPS Full ATA Carnet report
This can be issued once a hire is dispatched. The report will contain Item name, quantity, unit weight, unit value and country of origin information. It will also contain serial numbers for each uniquely identified item and all flightcases or packaging items.
3 – Advance Post-prep IPS Full ATA Carnet Details report
This can be issued at a time as requested but will be subject to an extended hire period. This is subject to availability and will incur an additional charge. The report will contain Item name, quantity, unit weight, unit value and country of origin information, as well as serial numbers for each uniquely identified item and all flightcases or packaging items.
Please discuss any Carnet related questions with your IPS contact who will help as much as they can.
The ATA Carnet lets you temporarily export commercial samples, trade fair or exhibition goods and professional equipment to countries that are part of the ATA Carnet system.
