How to Get an ATA Carnet
Carnets are issued by chambers of commerce and similar business organizations affiliated to the ATA international guarantee chain.
The World Chambers Federation (WCF), which brings together the chamber members of the Paris-based International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), is responsible for administering the chain. To obtain information on the ATA Carnet system, visit www.passportforgoods.com , where you will find the contact details (including web links) of the organizations that issue ATA Carnets in member countries.
For any participating country, the national member of the ATA guarantee chain can tell you where and how to obtain Carnets.
