How Much Does An ATA Carnet Cost?
The cost of your ATA Carnet will depend on your circumstances. At Carnet Wizard, we offer bespoke pricing to suit your needs. From renewals and extensions to last-minute requests, our team can help you price up your customised ATA Carnet cost.
What is an ATA carnet?
An ATA Carnet, also known as the ‘passport for goods’ is a vital international customs document. It permits the tax-free and duty-free temporary import and export of nonperishable goods, such as those essential to development projects or filming businesses.
The Admission Temporaire or Temporary Admission document makes it easier to move goods across borders, facilitating trade and travel. Any company with business across a border or needing to travel for exhibitions and events will need one. It covers the goods for up to one year and is valid in over 70 countries and customs territories.
Factors affecting the cost of an ATA carnet
Your carnet cost will vary depending on your needs and several other key factors. It is vital to understand the factors before you begin preparing your carnet.
Type of goods and their value
High-value items require a higher security deposit or insurance premium. The higher the value of the item, the more your carnet and related fees will set you back.
Issuing body fees
Issuing organisations and different chambers of commerce have varied pricing structures. At Carnet Wizard, we pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing and value for your money. With our services, you get support at every step of the process.
Number of countries and trips your carnet covers
Your ATA Carnet cost should factor into your journey, and if it has been completed correctly. For example, your carnet can be used for multiple visits to any number of countries specified in the itinerary and for the duration of the carnet.
Processing speed and urgency
Sometimes, the stress of travelling can mean that your carnet is either incorrectly completed or that you don’t have one to begin with. This can lead to lengthy delays and cost you vital time and money. Last-minute carnets can cost more to cover the urgency of your request.
What are the typical carnet costs?
There are numerous factors to consider when calculating the cost of a carnet, including:
Basic insurance fees
Security deposits or guarantees
Insurance costs
Expedited service or express processing fees
Handling fees
Renewals and extensions
How can you reduce the carnet cost
Your ATA Carnet cost can be cut if you follow our expert advice:
1. Apply early to avoid expedited services or express processing fees
Express processing fees and delivery to the border for customs clearance can be one of the biggest challenges. Applying for your carnet early, or speaking to a carnet specialist ahead of time, will ensure all of your paperwork is ready for your crossing.
2. Provide accurate information to avoid penalties or reassurance costs
Inaccurate information can cause problems at the border. Any slight deviations, such as a missing serial number for a product, can lead to you being held up at the border. Give as much detailed and accurate information as you can to avoid delays.
3. Speak to carnet experts to get a quote before you commit
Completing the carnet yourself can be difficult. The paperwork is overwhelming and complex, which is where carnet specialists come in. At Carnet Wizard, we pride ourselves on price transparency. The price that we give as a quote includes additional support from our team and claims.
