Indonesia Moves Towards Accepting ATA Carnets

Participants at an ATA Carnet workshop in Jakarta in July
Participants at an ATA Carnet workshop in Jakarta in July

Indonesia plans to formally announce the implementation of the ATA Carnet system at this December’s World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference in Bali. As part of a move towards closer engagement with the global economy, Indonesia aims to begin accepting ATA Carnets in early 2014.

Adding Indonesia has been a priority of the World ATA Carnet Council, which is chaired by USCIB Senior Vice President Cindy Duncan. Seventy-three countries already actively participate in this worldwide system, which facilitates temporary exports for a wide variety of goods free of duties and taxes.

U.S. trade with Indonesia will directly benefit from this implementation as U.S. businesses are currently major exporters of aircraft, rail equipment and energy-related equipment to Indonesia. Two-way trade between the United States and Indonesia has been on the upswing, reaching $26 billion in 2012 and U.S. exports to Indonesia were up an additional 8.1 percent in the same year. This positive trade growth is expected to be further spurred by Indonesia’s decision to join the ATA Carnet system.

To get the process in motion ICC’s Asia office held workshops and a series of meetings in Jakarta this past July to work on the technicalities of putting the system into place. Approximately 175,000 Carnets worth over $25 billion are issued annually. Indonesia will be a welcome addition to this growing Carnet figure and to continued international cooperation among trading partners. If you are interested in receiving updates and notifications on Indonesia’s status with the ATA Carnet System, please Click Here

The ATA Carnet system is jointly administered by the World Customs Organization and the International Chamber of Commerce’s ICC World Chambers Federation, which administers the ATA Carnet international guarantee chain. USCIB guarantees Carnets in the U.S. and issues them through a network of trusted service providers.

USCIB was once again a lead organizer for the annual World Trade Week festivities in New York City. Joining cities around the country during the third week in May, New York celebrated the role of trade and exports in driving regional and national prosperity.

In celebration of World Trade Week, USCIB organized a presentation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), “Are Your Exports/Imports CITES Compliant?,” along with sponsors Reed Exhibitions and the Jewelry Vigilance Committee, in partnership with the office of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D – N.Y.). FWS is charged with enforcing the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in the United States. Wildlife Inspector Naimah Aziz provided an in-depth training on the CITES convention and other local regulations that affect the trade in certain furs, coral, skins, sea and plant life.

A record number of people turned out for the kickoff awards breakfast at Baruch College on May 13. The keynote speaker was Sam Schwartz, president and CEO of Sam Schwartz Engineering. Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D. – N.Y.) addressed the breakfast, emphasizing the importance of the trade community and of making favorable policy decisions to enhance trade, and presented three top awards. The Export Appreciation Award, which went to the American Association of Independent Music. The Export Achievement Award, which was presented to Lumi.Solar; and finally the Global Trade Award, given to United-States Mexico Chamber of Commerce, Northeast Chapter.

Directly following the kick off breakfast Amanda Barlow, USCIB’s director of carnet and trade services marketing, took part in a panel discussion along with U.S. Customs and Border Protection on essential resources for international trade. Ms Barlow described how U.S. exporters can get their goods abroad duty and tax-free into 85 customs territories using the ATA Carnet, also known as the Merchandise Passport.
