A CARNET ATA, which simplifies custom formalities (recommended) or b. Teams must bring along a detailed list, signed by the accompanying person in charge, in two (2) copies. This list should include: 1. Full name / address of the person in charge.

In order that vehicles and equipment be released from customs, upon departure from Greece, the person in charge must hand in these two documents to the customs authorities, which will verify that all items imported are actually exported, even if they are damaged or destroyed, avoiding thus the payment of duties or taxes.
