Find the customs carnet desk. Fast. Offline. In any airport. Don't let a hidden customs desk ruin your day. ATA Carnet offices are tucked behind unmarked doors, in freight terminals, across the airport from where you landed. Every film crew has lost an hour — or a flight — hunting for one. Customs Finder puts the answer one search away. Open the app. Type the airport. Read the directions. No signal? No problem. The full catalog is stored on your device — no network needed to search and read, which is exactly the condition you're in airside. What's in the app: - Step-by-step directions to the carnet customs desk - Terminal, floor, landmarks, and what to say if there's a language barrier - Opening hours and contact numbers - Airports, ports, and land crossings covered, list growing all the time - Instant search by airport name or IATA code - No account required. No location tracking. Built for the people moving the gear Producers, camera operators, production managers, runners — anyone carrying an ATA Carnet through customs on a tight shoot. Built by people from the industry, for the industry. Sponsor-funded, free to use No subscription, no ads. A small number of sponsors who serve film crews keep the app free. They appear on the listing you're reading — gear rental, freight, insurance — at the moment you actually need them. Community-maintained accuracy Customs desks move. Hours change. Every user can confirm a listing is still accurate, flag changes, and add photos — so the data stays alive between editorial updates. Download free. No account needed. Works offline from the first launch.
