Take goods temporarily out of the UK
Overview You may need permission to temporarily move or export goods outside the UK, for example if you take sales samples to a trade show.
Temporarily export goods out of the UK
Most countries have a limit on the value of goods you can bring in duty free.
If you’re taking goods to another country temporarily for business reasons and you think you’ll be over the duty free limit, you can usually get an ATA Carnet to avoid paying duty. This includes things like:
- samples to show at trade fairs or sales meetings
- publicity materials
- recorded film and audio
- equipment you need for work like laptops, cameras or sound equipment
- goods for educational, scientific or cultural purposes
- personal effects and sports goods
