<p>The UK is committed to maintaining the option of using ATA Carnets for temporary
movements of professional equipment to the EU. Carnets can be a simpler and cheaper
way to move goods into and out of a customs territory temporarily, compared to submitting
full customs import and export declarations and paying duties.</p><p> </p><p>The EU’s
Temporary Admission procedure in combination with the UK’s Returned Goods Relief offers
another alternative to move items temporarily into the EU and back to the UK without
paying import duties. Improved guidance on the temporary movement of goods from the
UK has recently been published: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/taking-goods-out-gb-temporarily"

Government is reviewing how we can improve the UK’s own Temporary Admission procedure
and simplify processes for individuals and businesses, and has engaged with the Society
of Motor Manufacturers & Traders which included representatives from Motorsport
UK. HMRC and HMT are open to further discussions and any specific concerns the motorsport
industry has around the options available for temporarily moving goods.</p><p> </p><p>Work
to digitalise ATA Carnets and their processes is currently underway as part of a World
customs Organisation (WCO) and International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) initiative.
The Digital Pilot was launched in February 2019, initially involving the UK and five
other countries. To date the UK has successfully processed a number of e-Carnets from
Heathrow and is looking to collaborate with more ports to make digital Carnets more
readily available. More information is available at <a href="https://iccwbo.org/media-wall/news-speeches/icc-new-ata-carnet-app-makes-digital-declarations-and-transactions-possible/"
