Saudi Arabia and the Philippines join the ATA Carnet Scheme
Saudi Arabia joins the ATA Carnet scheme on 1st June 2024 and the Philippines joins on 15th July 2024 The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has officially welcomed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of the Philippines to its ATA Carnet International Guaranteeing Chain (ATA Chain). This inclusion signifies the global expansion of the ATA Carnet system, which facilitates duty-free and tax-free temporary admission of goods for up to a year. This initiative will be operational in Saudi Arabia from 1st June 2024, and in the Philippines from 15th July 2024, bringing the total number of participating regions to 81. Saudi Customs will accept ATA Carnets for goods used in exhibitions, fairs, and similar events (in accordance with Annex B1 of the Istanbul Convention). Saudi Arabia is a popular hub for expos, conferences, and exhibitions, and with Riyadh hosting the World Expo in 2030, this inclusion is timely.
