If you need to take IPS equipment out of the UK for an event, and require details for a Carnet, we can provide data about our equipment that you can then incorporate into your own documentation. We are not able to complete carnet forms on your behalf. 

As we only allocate specific equipment at the time that a job is prepared, specific details such as serial numbers are only available at the time of dispatch. If this information is required before this date, we can allocate and prep kit earlier, although this additional time will be added to the hire duration and will be chargeable accordingly. 

The three types of carnet information available from IPS are as follows:

1 - Pre-prep IPS Carnet report – This can be issued once a hire is confirmed. The report will contain Item name, quantity, unit weight, unit value and country of origin information. It will not include flightcase or packaging details. 

2 - Post-prep IPS Carnet report - This can be issued once a hire is dispatched. The report will contain Item name, quantity, unit weight, unit value and country of origin information, as well as serial numbers for each uniquely identified item and all flightcases or packaging items.

3 – Advance Post-prep IPS Carnet report - This can be issued at a time as requested but may be subject to an extended hire period and therefore an additional charge, and is subject to availability. The report will contain Item name, quantity, unit weight, unit value and country of origin information, as well as serial numbers for each uniquely identified item and all flightcases or packaging items.

The ATA Carnet lets you temporarily export commercial samples, trade fair or exhibition goods and professional equipment to countries that are part of the ATA Carnet system. The specific requirements for ATA Carnet details are explained by HMRC here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-ata-carnet Please discuss any Carnet related questions with your IPS contact who will help where they can.
