Some tips on traveling with your FARO scanner to Canada
Questions:
When you travel to Canada with a scanner, are there any documents that you should prepare?
Answer:
It is always advisable to bring an ATA Carnet for your scanner. An ATA Carnet is an international customs document that facilitates the temporary import of goods, particularly commercial samples, professional equipment, and exhibition goods, into countries like the United States and Canada without paying duties or taxes. It acts as a passport for goods, allowing for duty-free entry and exit for up to a year.

Should I check the scanner at the airport?
NO! This is a highly accurate measurement tool. We recommend taking it as a carry-on in the provided hard case or buying our DiCarlo Custom Backpack for the FARO Scanner
