Information Needed To Apply For An ATA Carnet
Показать описание
Information Needed to Apply
Authorized representative
This is a list of all companies and/or persons who are authorized by the holder to present the ATA Carnet for customs clearance. Please keep in mind that some countries (i.e. Turkey, Japan, Russia to name a few) require that the actual person clearing customs be listed on the ATA Carnet. But most countries will accept a Customs Power of Attorney, or an ATA Carnet Power of Attorney or a letter on the holder’s letter head authorizing additional companies or persons to present the ATA Carnet for customs clearance.
General List
The General List refers to the list of goods that will be traveling on the ATA Carnet. Despite the title this list needs to be as clearly described as possible, this includes all and any unique identifying characteristics. For example serial numbers, model numbers, measurements, contents, fabric, colors, country of origin, and weight. You can enter the items individually in the online application or you could upload an excel file containing the list.
Countries to visit
We request at time of application the countries you are planning on travelling to with your ATA Carnet. This helps us provide you with the latest information and any country specific formalities that you will need to comply with for your ATA Carnet shipment. However, the ATA Carnet itself is not country specific. What this means is if you select Japan at time of application and your Japan trip gets cancelled but another opportunity arises to take the same goods to say Canada you can simply grab your ATA Carnet and go without having to request additional counterfoils for Canada. Make sure to check the country details for any ATA Carnet specific requirements or formalities.
Form of security
Concurrent with the issuance of an ATA Carnet, the holder must provide security to the guaranteeing association in the United States, the United States Council for International Business (USCIB). The USCIB typically requires a bond or cash equivalent of 40% of the total value of the General List. Security requirements for vehicles and boats are typically 100% for corporations and 150% for individuals.
The simplest way to provide security and avoid tying up your funds for up to 30 months is to obtain an ATA Carnet Bond from Roanoke Trade. This reduces the time needed to process your ATA Carnet since it is possible for all information to be supplied during the ATA Carnet application process, ensuring quick and reliable processing. Merely select “Bond Process with Carnet” when completing your online application.
Bonds provided as a guarantee must be authorized by the U.S. Treasury Department, admitted in the State of New York, have an A.M. Best rating of A- or higher and be written in the language required by the USCIB.
Cash deposits are another option to post the security requirement, but keep in mind that the cash is not released for 4 to 6 weeks after the ATA Carnet is returned and closed. If the ATA Carnet cannot be closed then these monies may be held for up to 30 months during a claims process.
Power of Attorney
If you are obtaining an ATA Carnet on behalf of your customer then a Customs Power of Attorney or an ATA Carnet power of attorney must be signed and submitted to Roanoke Trade. The power of attorney allows you to sign the ATA Carnet(s) and ATA Carnet bond(s) on behalf of your customer. Without the power of attorney, the processing of the Carnet will be delayed in order to obtain signatures from authorized individuals within the organization. Note that only one power of attorney is necessary per organization, regardless of the number of Carnets you need. Some exceptions may apply.
Insurance
Roanoke Trade offers an enhanced ATA Carnet Cargo Insurance program to insure your goods for the entire duration of your ATA Carnet. The policy is designed to cover losses not typically covered under a standard transit policy. Features of this policy include “All Risk” coverage for New and Used goods, including transit to and from a Foreign ATA Carnet member country. Coverage continues while the merchandise is in these countries and provides duty reimbursement in the event goods are lost or stolen. The policy also covers goods checked as luggage or hand-carried on a commercial airline. The deductible for Roanoke Trade’s policy is 1% of the General List value with a $50 minimum.
