What is EasyCarnet?

EasyCarnet helps businesses and professionals obtain ATA Carnet documents for temporarily exporting equipment across international borders. The core purpose is to reduce the administrative effort involved in customs processing by handling the carnet workflow and delivering the physical documents to your shipping address.

According to the site, EasyCarnet supports customers with an online application, expert review, and human assistance, with processing described as same-day in many cases and delivery described as typically next-day.

Key Features

• Online application for your carnet request: you can add your equipment list, travel plans, and a shipping address to start the process.
• Expert support during the application: the site states that you can get help with questions about the process and application.
• Expert review before documents ship: EasyCarnet reviews every carnet before it ships and aims to prevent rejections from paperwork mistakes.
• Same-day processing (where available): the site describes carnet processing as “same-day”.
• Delivery of physical ATA Carnet documents: the service delivers approved carnet documents to your address, described as usually next-day.
• Ongoing support for the carnet’s validity period: the site states it provides 12-month support while the carnet is valid.

Alternatives

• Use a freight forwarder or customs broker to handle ATA Carnets end-to-end: similar workflow (carnet issuance and customs coordination), but may be organized through a different service channel and billing structure.
• Apply for ATA Carnets through a local issuing authority or national guarantee association: typically a more direct route that may require you to manage more of the application and document preparation yourself.
• Use specialized document and trade compliance services for temporary exports/imports: these focus on cross-border paperwork generally, and may include carnet-like solutions depending on the jurisdiction and equipment type.
• Plan travel without a carnet by using permanent import/export or other customs procedures: an alternative approach when temporary admission is not required, but it changes the border-duty and logistics assumptions.
