Sergio M. Rapu replied to Michael Ballard's discussion International Travel"Hey Mike,
If you are doing large amounts of gear that would NOT be passed as "personal" you should definitely file for a ATA Carnet through the USCIB (http://www.uscib.org/). It costs some money, and is a bit complicated, but the…"
Sergio M. Rapu replied to Daniel Golding's discussion APP developers. Any leads?"Hey Daniel!

If traveling from the US with production equipment you will need to…See More
