Are you heading to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland this month?

If you are planning to use an ATA Carnet for goods destined for the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland this month, please take note of the following important information:

Swiss Customs has specific requirements for Carnet holders transporting event setup equipment or displays. To ensure a smooth journey, you must be prepared to provide evidence that:

•    The goods are used by the Holder/UK company.
•    The booths or stands are not being rented out to local companies participating in the event.


Swiss Customs will only allow goods in under the Carnet if these conditions are met. To avoid delays, we recommend that you:

•    Carry sufficient documentation to prove intended use.
•    Draft a cover letter outlining these points to present at customs if needed.


Please relay this information to anyone in your team involved with the Carnet, and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
