12. Liability o ATA Carnet Holders
What happens i the goods covered by an ATA Carnet are not re-exported because they are destroyed, lost or
stolen or, i the Carnet itsel is destroyed, lost or stolen?
It is also important to bear in mind that i any goods covered by an ATA Carnet are destroyed, lost or stolen
whilst in a oreign country, they will automatically become l iable or customs duty, taxes, etc. This will be the
liability o the ATA Carnet holder. In addition, the holder will also be responsible to the Chamber or any costs
that the Chamber may incur in meeting its obligation as guarantor.
I the Carnet itsel is destroyed, lost or stolen, a similar situation could well arise.
In either event, the ATA Carnet holder should immediately notiy the local police/customs o the mishap and
obtain in a covering statement rom them.
13. Administration o ATA Carnet
ATA Carnet operations are administered by chambers o commerce in participating countries as a result o
an international arrangement known as the ATA international guarantee chain administered by International
Chamber o Commerce/World Chambers Federation (ICC/WCF) in Paris.

In UAE, the ATA Carnet scheme is administered by Dubai Chamber o Commerce & Industry, and ATA Carnets
may only be obtained rom the Chamber.

TheATACarnetisneithercompletenorvalidwithoutthisBackGreenCover,andtheFrontGreenCover,
which includes the ofcial serial number, period o validity, and the date and signature o the issuing authority.
15. The Guarantee Period
The primary purpose o the ATA Carnet is to give an acceptable guarantee to the customs o a oreign country
into which the goods are temporarily imported that all duties, taxes, etc. will be paid to them i the conditions
under which they allow these goods into their country are breached. The Chamber and all the other oreign
Chambers participating in the ATA Carnet system, provide this guarantee to the customs authorities. It thereore
ollows that the issuing Chamber must, in turn, receive the equivalent security rom the ATA Carnet holder.
The 31-month guarantee period is essential, as this is the period during which the Chamber itsel remains liable.
There is, o course, no need or the security given to be at risk throughout this period. I an ATA Carnet is
used, say, or 4 weeks and is returned to the Chamber without delay and ound to be in order, a conditional
discharge may, at the Chambers discretion, be given and the deposit/guarantee will be returned within a
short time.
