TIR and ATA carnet
ATA carnet – what is it?
An ATA Carnet (Admission Temporaire/Temporary Admission) is an international customs document that facilitates the temporary import of goods into countries that are parties to the ATA Convention without paying duties and taxes. It is mainly used for goods transported for exhibitions, trade fairs, shows, conferences, and for professional purposes such as technical equipment and tools. The document is accepted in over 70 countries and significantly simplifies customs procedures by eliminating the need to file separate declarations in each country.
How to obtain an ATA carnet?
To obtain an ATA carnet, you must submit an application to the local chamber of commerce. The application should include detailed information about the goods to be exported and the purpose of their export. The chamber of commerce verifies whether the applicant meets all requirements and whether the goods qualify for the ATA procedure. Once approved, the chamber issues the ATA carnet, which can then be used for the temporary export of goods to countries that are parties to the ATA Convention. This process greatly simplifies international transport by eliminating the need to submit different customs declarations in each country.
Certificates of Origin
Certificates of Origin are key documents in international trade that confirm the country of origin of goods. They are required by foreign customs authorities to clear imported goods. Certificates of Origin are issued by chambers of commerce or other authorised institutions and serve as proof of origin. If the original Certificate of Origin is lost or destroyed, it is possible to issue a duplicate, ensuring continuity and compliance with customs regulations. Thanks to Certificates of Origin, businesses can carry out international trade smoothly and with confidence that their goods meet all customs requirements.
TIR carnet – what is it?
A TIR Carnet (Transport International Routier) is an international customs document that enables border crossings using one transit document under one guarantee. Thanks to the TIR system, customs procedures are simplified and accelerated, making international transport significantly easier. A TIR carnet is particularly useful on long routes involving multiple countries, as it eliminates the need to repeatedly open and close the cargo during the journey.
The TIR carnet as a customs document for closing the TIR procedure
A TIR carnet is a key customs document that ensures security and compliance in international road transport. It guarantees that goods transported under its cover are protected against unauthorised access and tampering, minimising the risk of customs fraud. The TIR carnet is accepted in over 70 countries worldwide, making it a universal tool in international logistics. It enables streamlined customs procedures, which translates into time and cost savings. When it comes to verifying Certificates of Origin, the responsibility for carrying out the verification requested by foreign customs authorities lies with the National Chamber of Commerce (KIG).
TIR carnet – who issues it?
TIR carnets are issued by national organisations affiliated with the International Road Transport Union (IRU). In Poland, the authorised body for issuing TIR carnets is the Association of International Road Transport Carriers (ZMPD). Companies that want to use this system must meet specific requirements and be members of ZMPD. Once these conditions are met, the company can apply for a TIR carnet, which is then used when transporting goods across borders. A Certificate of Origin can be issued either during export planning or retrospectively after shipment, which can be important in international trade.
