Special Considerations

  • USCIB ATA Carnet Advisory for Brexit (12/23/2020)
  • USCIB ATA Carnet Advisory on Requirements for Hauliers (freight forwarders) (3/14/2023):
    1. The goods vehicle movement service (GVMS) – any hauliers crossing into or out of the UK, via any port, will need to register for the service to get their goods through customs. ATA Carnet number should be entered in the “Declaration Reference” field for the GVMS declaration. GMR Reference is also required for personal or company vehicles transporting Carnet goods in both directions, i.e. exiting UK and returning to UK. For freighted goods, GMR will be obtained by the freight forwarder. For holders driving the goods in personal or company vehicles, if they don’t have their own HMRC accounts to obtain GRM, they can contact LCCI to obtain the GMR reference for their shipment using the following link: please click here to submit a GMR request. They can also contact other Customs Agents in the market.
    2. Harwich Port – as of 01/01/2022, hauliers passing via the freight terminal will need to lodge a Customs Clearance Request before arriving at the port. Form C21 will allow hauliers that do not have access to the UK Customs System to lodge a request (note that shipments via Calais and Dunkerque do NOT need to lodge this request).

Special Considerations

Ceuta and Melilla: Since the end of 2013 ATA Carnets are being accepted by local authorities in Ceuta and Melilla though there is no official communication of such acceptance from the local authorities of these two autonomous cities.

Both are autonomous territories located in North Africa. To visit these cities, holders will either go through Málaga or Cádiz by sea or Madrid or Málaga by plane. Ceuta and Melilla belong to the EU but are not a part of the Customs Union territory. Ceuta and Melilla have their own taxes named IPSI. The rate is from a minimum of 0.5% to a maximum of 10% of value declared.

Using ATA Carnets for Ceuta and Melilla: To travel between EU, including Spain, to and from Ceuta and Melilla, two sets of white counterfoil/vouchers must be issued, one set for entry into Ceuta or Melilla and one set for entry back to Spain or other EU countries. If the holder plans to visit both Ceuta and Melilla, two sets will be issued one for each city.

ATA Carnet claims for Ceuta and Melilla will be handed by the Spanish GA, Cámara de Comercio de España.
