Crossing the Border with Television Equipment
Citizens of European Union Member States do not need an ATA-CARNET when bringing TV cameras from the European Union into the Republic of Slovenia if such equipment enjoys Community status. Television crews from other countries are advised to obtain the ATA-CARNET form. This form will simplify border procedures and the transfer of equipment through customs.
