We deal with similar shipping issues in film. When I worked on [job redacted due to NDA] we had to send specific camera gear from the US to Europe that we could not rent there. Every single item had to be on an ATA Carnet. It was 108 cases and it took almost a week to account for everything. Thousands of individual items. Also, if you’re shooting a scene in an active prison every single item must be documented coming in and out. That’s every cable, zoom pin for the lens, batteries, even the film itself, because everything might be fashioned into something that could hurt someone. Again, thousands upon thousands of items
@@bustedseamshahaha it’s ok! It’s still a pain and no one ever tells you that it can happen! I feel your pain, we don’t think about customs in school, and that would be a huge shock to design a sample, send out a color swatch without knowing the proper paperwork, then it gets fined or sent back and you miss a deadline!
Damn such interesting and useful info 👩💼
