Tips for ATA Carnets to Qatar

When planning to use an ATA Carnet to the newest carnet country, Qatar, there are a few guidelines worth noting:

• Qatar only accepts the intended use of Exhibitions and Fairs (EF). Professional equipment and commercial samples are not allowed at this time.
• Qatar customs authorities restrict split shipments but allow partial shipments. Importation in split shipments is not allowed. However partial shipments may be imported as long as they are re-exported in a single consignment.
• Replacement carnets are accepted but need to be approved in advance as usual.
• Box C of the Importation Voucher should include the Name of the event as well as the Venue where it is taking place.
• It is advised that a file of the General List on a USB drive be on hand to speed up entry in Qatar.
