Verify Carnet Information

The global network of ATA Carnet is stepping up the development of “Digital Carnet” for electronic declaration and customs clearance in the nearly future. While all national guaranteeing associations around the world have implemented data synchronization with the central system (including The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce since 2023), some countries or customs territories have also begun to admit Digital Carnets. Hong Kong’s Carnets are therefore issued in both paper and electronic forms to accommodate the needs of different customs territories during the transition period.

Upon receiving your Carnet folder, you are advised to:

Verify that all information you provided to HKGCC is properly printed on:
  • ATA Carnet F1A Form (principal cover page) and General List
  • All vouchers
  • Power of Attorney / Authorization Letter (Optional)
Check that the Carnet Number, Validity Date, Countries or Districts to be Visited, Signature of HKGCC Officer, Issuing Stamp and Date of Issue are all in place.
Make certain that the numbers of counterfoils and vouchers are enough to cover all customs points for Exportation, Importation, Re-exportation, and Re-importation.
