Take LiDAR scanners, GPS RTK systems, total stations, and geophysical instruments to international project sites without paying import duties. An ATA Carnet is essential for engineering and survey firms working globally.
Get Your CarnetEngineering and survey firms deploy high-value instruments to international project sites for infrastructure, mining, oil & gas, and environmental work. LiDAR scanners and GPS RTK units can cost $50,000–$200,000. An ATA Carnet protects that investment at every border crossing.
Civil engineers taking total stations, levels, and ground-penetrating radar to international road, bridge, and infrastructure projects.
Mining companies deploying drone-mounted LiDAR, seismic instruments, and drilling survey equipment at international extraction sites.
Environmental scientists and researchers taking field instruments, water quality sensors, and atmospheric monitoring equipment to international study sites.
We regularly process carnets for precision instruments worth $100K+. Accurate valuation and serial number documentation is our specialty.
Customs in developing countries can be unpredictable. A properly executed carnet gives your field team authoritative documentation at any checkpoint.
A single carnet covers all your project countries — ideal for pipeline or infrastructure surveys that cross multiple borders.
Long-duration international projects need long-term documentation. A carnet is valid for 12 months with unlimited crossings.
