ATA CARNET- THE PASSPORT FOR GOODSAn International Customs Facilitation Scheme
The ATA Carnet is a temporary admission document which acts as a ‘PASSPORT FOR GOODS’ for three main categories of Community statusgoods:
l commercial samplesl goods for presentation or use at trade fairs, shows, exhibitions or similar eventsl professional equipment (which is solely for use by, or under the personal supervision of the holder or his nominated representative)
Using a Carnet eliminates the need for a Custom declaration at border points and the deposit of a guarantee or bond in the country of temporaryimportation. It can be used for a trip covering more than one country and includes numerous exits and re-entries in the country of origin during theperiod of the validity of the document. This validity can never exceed one year. Temporary admission under cover of ATA carnets applies to goods,which will be re-exported in the same state in which they were imported.
A carnet may not be used for:
l goods to be sold or hired out abroad for financial gainl perishable or consumable items (as they would not normally be re-exported)l goods which are temporarily exported for processing or repairl goods on which a CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) refund will be claimedl goods used as a means of transportl the exportation of unaccompanied goods, or by postl foreign goods temporarily imported into the E.C. under a Customs Temporary Importation Concessionl equipment to be used for the construction, repair or maintenance of buildings or for earthmoving and like projects
EC/CPD/CHINA - TAIWAN CARNETAgreement has been reached between the EC, Taiwan and the International Chamber of Commerce to establish a system of Carnets similar to thatfor ATA Carnets. The Carnet covers goods temporarily imported/exported between the EC and Taiwan and is called an EC/CPD/China-TaiwanCarnet. (CPD = Carnet de Passage). Other than a different colour code and A4 format to distinguish it from the ATA Carnet, the conditions for itsuse, the goods for which it can be used and EC Customs procedures are identical to those for the ATA Carnet.
HOW TO OBTAIN AN ATA CARNET
1. Complete the official application form and pay the issuing fee (as shown below):London Chamber Members* (24hr service) £195.36 London Chamber Members *(Express service) £390.72Non-members (24hr service) £325.56Non-members (Express service) £521.12
*Members are required to state their membership number on the application form when applying for a Carnet
2. Lodge the adequate security to cover duty, etc.The ATA Carnet provides a guarantee to the Customs of a foreign country into which the goods are temporarily imported that all duties, taxes etc.will be paid to them if the conditions under which they allow these into the country are breached. The issuing Chamber must receive an equivalentsecurity from the Carnet user. This security must be for an amount equal to the highest rate of duty and taxes applicable to the goods in any countryof destination, and transit if applicable. It will disregard any preferential tariffs that may be in force at the time because Customs authorities maythemselves ignore such preferential rates. The security, to the nearest pound, must be given in one of the following ways:- by cash or a Banker'sDraft, bank or insurance company guarantee, (in which case the banks or insurance companies must comply with certain criteria) or through theCarnet Security Scheme or by arrangement through your insurance broker*. Please note that guarantees will only be accepted when given on theIssuing Chamber's official form.
Carnet Security Scheme* - The ATA and ‘CPD/China-Taiwan Carnet Security Scheme’ is an ‘in-house’ system set up by the London Chamber of Commerce andIndustry (LCCI) to simplify the means by which the Carnet user can arrange for the Security Deposit to be provided without having to supply either Cash, Banker'sDraft or Guarantee from an approved Bank.
The benefits to the Carnet Holders are:-l ‘While You Wait’ processing and issue.l No ‘freezing’ of assets or funds (as with other institutions).l Availability throughout network.
3. Complete the Carnet forms according to your trip. There are a pair of vouchers for each departure, visit, transit and/or exhibition, and always a green front cover.

BOXES A, B andC andTHE GENERAL LIST
(Must either be typed or printed - NOThandwritten)
CARNET VOUCHERS:
These mustbe the A4 sized forms that contain holder’s details as well as the list of goods that are being
temporarily exported. The number of vouchers in a Carnet depends on the itinerary. All the forms are in
pairs (apart from the green front cover Page1), each having a specific function (Exp.= exportation out of EU,
Imp.= importation into destination country, Re-exp.= re-exportation from the country where the original
import was made, re-imp.= re-importation into EU. Blue Tra.vouchers may also be required for transit or
exhibition purposes. Certain countries do notaccept Carnet for all categories (please consult a Security Rate
Chartor your nearest issuing office).
Boxes A, B and C(front of each voucher) and the goods list(back of each voucher) have to be completed
before the carnet forms are submitted for issuing. Box Ashould contain holder details corresponding to the
details stated on the application form (i.e. company name and address). Box Bshould contain name(s) of the
person(s) who will accompany the carnet throughout the journey. If the representative is not known at the
time of completing the forms then a statement ‘ANY AUTHORISED REPRESENTATIVE’ should appear in
this box, and the holder would subsequently produce an ‘Authorisation Letter’ (on a company’s headed
paper and signed by the holder) to authorise chosen person to use the carnet. Box C should contain either
‘COMMERCIAL SAMPLES’, ‘INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR/EXHIBITION’ or ‘PROFESSIONAL
EQUIPMENT’ that should correspond to the option circled on the Application form.
The back of each voucher should contain the List of goodsthat are being temporarily exported using a
Carnet. All the goods must be individually itemised with each item having its specific description(i.e. serial
numbers etc). Only the items with identical description can be grouped together, in which case the
itemisation in column 1must correspond to the number of pieces in column 3(i.e. the totals of column 1
and column 3 must tally). If your goods list does not fit on the back of the voucher, then it must be done in
a same format on separate pieces of (A4) paper, with the back of Carnet forms left blank.
It is advisable that a goods list is checked by the issuing office prior to printing / typing it out, as to avoid
your document being rejecteddue to incorrect numbering or lack of detail.

LETTER OF AUTHORITYA carnet may be issued in the name of an individual or a company who must be permanently resident in the United Kingdom. However, it may beused by any person provided the user carries a letter from the named holder authorising such use (see the example below). The holder may alsoallow an Agent to handle the Carnet through the customs on his behalf, again provided that the Agent holds a Letter of Authority. Box B on theGreen Front cover and the coloured vouchers would then contain the statement: ‘Any authorised representative’.
Draft Letter of Authority to be typed on firm’s headed paper.
