Russia-Ukraine War
Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequent restrictions approved at the international level, Unioncamere announced that the issue of ATA Carnet for the three countries directly or indirectly involved in the war (Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Belarus) is currently suspended.
The updated list of the sanctions is available here.
The Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs set up two dedicated crisis units to assist companies having business relations with Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.

What it is about
The ATA Carnet is an international customs document that allows the temporary export of goods to non-EU countries that are part of the ATA Convention, and to other EU territories (see here for a list of the ATA countries).
The Carnet is valid for up to 12 months from the date of issue.
It can be requested by businesses registered with the Chamber of Commerce of Milan, Monza- Brianza, and Lodi as well as private citizens or professionals residing in the provinces of Milano, Monza-Brianza, and Lodi.
The ATA carnet allows duty-free and VAT-free exports, provided that the relevant goods are re-imported within the dates indicated on it. The ATA carnet constitutes a useful alternative to the usual customs procedure for temporary import-export since it simplifies customs clearance operations. It also exempts the owner of the Carnet from the obligation to file security or an amount of customs duties (so as to give a guarantee that the goods will not be re-exported) at the customs of the country of temporary import.

Some countries have adhered to the ATA Convention for specific categories of such goods. Therefore, it is recommended that you consult the Unioncamere website and check which goods can be temporarily exported.

To ship/handle non-exportable goods, you have to consult the competent customs office.
