how to obtain ATA carnet?

The application form for an ATA Carnet is filled in on the website of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It is recommended to submit the application at least ten days before the trip. At the same time as the application is sent to the Chamber of Commerce, the application must also be submitted to the institution providing the ATA system. In Estonia, this is Ergo Insurance SE.

An ATA Carnet is issued on the basis of the application. The completed ATA Carnet is issued to the carnet holder upon presentation of the insurance policy against a signature. The Carnet must be confirmed at the service bureau or customs office of the Tax and Customs Board.

The ATA Carnet consists of covers and sheets. The sheets are divided into counterfoils and vouchers. After completing the customs formalities at the border customs offices, the completed counterfoils remain in the Carnet, the completed receipts are torn out by the customs officials. The used ATA Carnet is returned to the Chamber of Commerce that issued the Carnet.
