SUMMARY:Expand Your Business Internationally with ATA Carnets
DESCRIPTION:Join the Queens Economic Development Corporation (QEDC) and the United States Council for International Business (USCIB) to learn how ATA Carnets—the global “passport for goods”—can help businesses explore and expand into international markets while reducing costs and simplifying customs procedures. \nWhether you’re exhibiting at an overseas trade show\, demonstrating prototypes to prospective customers\, transporting equipment for live events or short term projects\, or bringing commercial samples to meetings abroad\, ATA Carnets allow you to temporarily take goods into over 80 countries for up to one year without paying import duties and taxes. \nThis webinar will introduce this practical and often-overlooked tool that helps small and medium-sized businesses reduce administrative burdens and avoid unnecessary costs when transporting goods internationally. Participants will learn how companies across a wide range of industries can obtain and use ATA Carnets to support their global opportunities. The session will also highlight the new eATA\, or digital Carnet\, that launched this year to further streamline the temporary admissions process. \nAbout the Speaker \nMadison Calkins\, ATA Carnet Business Development Manager Madison Calkins is the Manager of ATA Carnet Business Development at USCIB\, where she helps develop and implement strategies to expand the ATA Carnet system in the United States. She works closely with chambers of commerce\, trade associations\, and economic development organizations to help US companies benefit from ATA Carnets when moving goods globally. Calkins also facilitates coordination with the International Chamber of Commerce World Chambers Federation (ICC/WCF) and supports the digital transformation to eATA Carnet across the US and the Americas. Before USCIB\, Calkins was a Program Manager at Tesla Government Inc\, where she led cross-sector initiatives with the US State Department\, multilateral institutions\, and private sector partners.
