7 ATA CARNET

The ATA carnet is an international customs document that can be used in different countries around the world to cover temporary importation of goods without payment of customs charges for up to one year. Using a carnet:

Simplifies customs clearance of goods in exporting and importing countries by replacing customs documents that would normally be required

Provides a financial security for customs charges potentially due on the goods that will be used in the countries visited

Page 9: The Customs Clearance Manual outlines the necessary customs … · 2019-06-27 · 3) Seaway Bill of Lading / or Original AWB to match with the shipping documents 4) Original Commercial

6 | P a g e

Helps to overcome language barriers and having to complete unfamiliar customs forms ATA CARNET will not cover consumable goods or disposable items Allows duty/tax free admission of goods Goods must be totally re-exported/re-imported within time limits stipulated by Customs

Authorities An internationally accepted Customs Document, issued by an authorized Chamber of Commerce. Allows the temporary import and export of goods without the need for raising bonds, duty, tax and Customs formalities in one or a number of participating countries. In Qatar, ATA Carnets are issued by the Qatar Chamber of Commerce & Industry. The ATA carnet must be raised in the country of origin of the goods and prior to departure from the

country. It replaces the normal customs documentation required at the time of importation and re-

exportation. If the goods will be used for longer than one year, a replacement carnet will need to

be requested from the association that issued the carnet to cover use of the goods for a further

year. The issuing association may make a charge for the issue of a carnet and will require the

holder to provide them with a guarantee or other security to help ensure that the goods are re-

exported from the country visited.

How does an ATA carnet work? ATA CARNET is a passport for goods (a set of color coded forms)

The ATA carnet must be presented to customs each time the goods are imported, exported or

transported through a country. The carnet consists of a cover and vouchers for use during entry

and exit from each participating country visited. The cover sheet identifies the holder, their

address, the intended use of the goods, which countries the carnet can be used in and how long it

is valid.

Company details will be required as well as the list of goods to be included in the Carnet. All the

goods will need to be individually itemized by providing their trade description, marks and serial

number (if any), number, weight and quantity and other relevant details. It is important that the

Customs Officer of the importing country can identify the goods and match their details with those

provided in the Carnet otherwise he may refuse to accept them. Qatar Chamber, in cooperation

with the Qatari Customs Department, have formed a committee dedicated to studying all aspects

of the ATA Carnet in Qatar in order to launch the service in the next months.

Carnet inspection in Qatar is applicable only Sun – Thursday 7 am to 1 pm.

Carnets issued to Individuals is not accepted in Qatar.

between the goods inspected by Customs at import and the goods inspected by Customs for

Customs may ask the clearing agent to take pictures while the inspection is done which should

match with the cargo while the re-export is done. Each part must be clearly identifiable by serial

number or part number if possible. Temporary imports are subject to a 'cashier’s check deposit' of

the duty amount (and legalization charge if not carried out prior to export) which is refundable upon

proof of re-export within approved timeframe, depending on customs approval & bayans being

linked in customs system.
