| | | Second Run of 2026: ATA Carnet Workshop
| The ATA Carnet facilitates the shipment of goods to a foreign country for temporary purposes like an exhibition or to help an orchestra ship its instruments on tour. Because the exact same goods will be re-exported back to Singapore, the ATA Carnet means that goods can be shipped without having to pay import duties and taxes at each destination. That means significant cost savings for your business.
| | This half-day in-person workshop will provide participants with all they need to know to apply for and use the ATA Carnet. | | Do register early as each session is only limited to 14 participants. Cost includes course materials and light refreshments. A Certificate of Participation will be issued to all participants. |
