Maximizing Efficiency in the Cruise Industry with the Jeweller's Passport

To explore the diverse applications of ATA Carnets within the cruise industry, we are presenting a series of blog posts.  So far, we have examined their use for art, live entertainment, and music on board.  In this latest installment, we focus on their importance in the management of jewelry on cruise ships, highlighting how ATA Carnets are essential to this crucial feature of the cruise industry.

All Aboard that Glitters

Shopping for jewelry is a favorite pastime for cruise passengers.  The use of ATA Carnets ensures that the process is smooth and hassle-free.  By using ATA Carnets, jewelers and retail shops onboard can easily transport their exquisite pieces from one port to another, enhancing the onboard shopping experience and driving business success.

Jewelry on cruise ships offers a unique and luxurious experience for passengers.  Retailers provide a variety of high-quality gemstone creations and luxury timepieces.  Exclusive trunk shows highlighting expert craftsmanship of jewelry and luxury timepieces also feature well-known designer brands.

Much time and effort are devoted so that passengers aboard can enjoy an unparalleled shopping experience.  Cruise lines market featured jewelry collections as a major attraction exclusive only to passengers.  There are also unique jewelry collections with exclusive pieces designed specifically for the voyage.  Jewelry is also the focus of organized events that promise luxe shopping parties and breakout “try-on” gatherings, offering guests the chance to wear and purchase rare, museum-grade jewelry.

The ATA Carnet plays a crucial role in the smooth movement of jewelry onboard allowing jewelers and vendors to temporarily import jewelry and avoid paying import-duties and -taxes when entering the multiple countries on the cruise itinerary.

                   
ATA Carnet - The Jeweller's Passport     

The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document for temporarily exported merchandise or goods.  It allows cross border movement of those goods import-duty and -tax free into 87+ carnet countries and territories for up to 12 months.  The ATA Carnet is known as the Merchandise Passport for boomerang freight®.  ATA Carnets can be used to take equipment and gear across international borders for a contracted job, exhibit at an international trade show, or demo a prototype or product.  At the end of the 12 months, all the items listed on the carnet return to the country of origin, thus the term boomerang freight.
