Simplifying trade and streamlining export-import processes

In association with UK National ATA Carnet Organisation (UKNATACO) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), SGS has further developed the ATA Carnet application within its eCERT product to support the eATA Carnet. The pilot of digital carnets, led by United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, China and Switzerland, advances the processing of ATA Carnets greatly, by removing paper-based forms with a mobile app. Visibility and security are enhanced for both the Holder and Customs.

eCERT: digitalizing certificates for seamless trade

In the last 3 years, ATA Carnet’s processed by the SGS eCERT application have reliably handled over GBP 3.1 billion worth of goods.

eCERT is a secure and user-friendly platform that allows businesses to access, manage and share their certificates online. This groundbreaking technology simplifies the process of obtaining ATA Carnets making it faster and more efficient. It reduces the need for physical paperwork, enabling businesses to trade smoothly and with confidence.
