Carnets are now accepted for exhibitions and fairs, whether government sanctioned or private. Goods imported into India under cover of ATA Carnets have to be re-exported within the six-month period following their importation. If you would want your goods to remain in India longer than the six-month period, you should obtain approval therefore (1) from the Customs office of import; (2) before the six-month period has expired. Failing such approval within the due period, duties, taxes and interests would become payable.
ATA Carnets cannot be used for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, as India is not a signatory of the “Professional Equipment” and Commercial Samples” of the ATA Carnet convention. For details of exemptions for goods, including broadcasting equipment, imported for the games please Click Here
