Who can apply for and use a Carnet?
The ATA Carnet service is available to business and sales representatives, exhibitors at trade fairs and any travelling professionals, such as film crews, architects, artists, engineers, entertainers, photographers, sports teams. A carnet may be issued to a Company or Individuals who are permanent residents of the United Kingdom. It may be used by anybody provided the user has a letter from the named holder authorising such use. The holder may also allow an Agent to handle the carnet through customs on his behalf provided the Agent holds a Letter of Authority. In either eventuality, it is important that the carnet states it can be used by ‘Any authorised representative’.
