Crossing borders with Pelican cases, road cases, or hard equipment cases? An ATA Carnet lists each case and its contents, giving customs a complete picture and keeping your gear duty-free.
Get Your CarnetProfessionals use Pelican cases because they protect high-value equipment. That same high-value equipment is exactly what customs authorities scrutinize at international borders. An ATA Carnet is the standard document for declaring cases and their contents, preventing duties and enabling smooth passage.
Film crews and photographers packing cameras, lenses, and accessories in Pelican 1510, 1650, and larger cases for international shoots.
Engineers and field technicians carrying tools, electronics, and testing equipment in hard cases to international project sites.
Defense contractors and military personnel moving sensitive electronic equipment in Pelican cases to allied nations and exercise locations.
There are two ways to list cased equipment on a carnet:
List the Pelican case itself (with its total contents value) as a single line item. Best for cases that travel together as a unit.
List each piece of equipment inside the case separately. Required for high-value items with serial numbers (cameras, lenses, electronics).
