Digital Carnets – in the palm of your hand
Digital Carnets will go live in June 2026 for the UK, EU, Switzerland and Norway which means no more paper or manual Carnets. Instead, your Carnet will be in the palm of your hand in the ATA Carnet mobile app. Birmingham Chambers of Commerce expert Jonathan Crosbie, International Documentation Manager, is hosting two webinars, via Zoom, to answer all your questions to make your transition as easy as possible. These webinars are free to attend, and are not just for GTC members, but you need to register. Join him for sharp insights, real-world use cases, and a forward look at how digital carnet solutions are shaping the future of international trade.
What is a digital ATA carnet?
A digital ATA Carnet (or eATA) is a secure, electronic version of the traditional “passport for goods” used for temporary, duty-free, and tax-free importation of goods, samples, or professional equipment. Managed via a smartphone app (eATA app), it replaces paper documents with QR codes, offering real-time tracking, reduced customs border queues, and increased security for international trade.
How do digital Carnets work?
You will still apply for your ATA Carnet via the eCert web platform but instead of receiving a physical document in the post you will receive a Carnet number, Carnet ID and Carnet PIN.
Add these details into your ATA Carnet App on your smartphone/table to “download” your Carnet to your device.
You will then use this to prepare declarations (or ‘Travels’ as they are referred to in the App) and this will generate QR codes that customs will scan when you export/import/re-export or re-import.
