ATA Carnet is an international customs document that allows goods to travel duty and tax free within 81 countries or districts temporarily for up to one year. It is equivalent to a travel passport for goods, with pre-prepared and standardized declaration forms to be used as a guarantee to customs offices.

The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce is the sole guaranteeing and issuing body of ATA Carnet in Hong Kong, covering:

General Merchandise
- Goods for use in exhibitions and fairs
- Professional equipment
- Commercial samples

Private Cars for the Self-drive to Guangdong Province

ATA Carnet is also required by The General Administration of Customs of China for driving private cars into Guangdong Province under the “Ad hoc Quotas for Cross Boundary Private Cars” scheme.
