BRAZIL – URGENT- ATA CARNET OPERATION
EFFECTIVE AS OF 1 JANUARY 2022
Notification has been received from the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry that the ATA Carnet will no longer be used as a customs document for temporary admission and export of goods into the country due to the lack of a national guaranteeing and issuing association, essential for the continuity of the program. Therefore, as of 1 January 2022, BR customs will NOT accept or issue any Carnets for temporary admission or export.
Per notification from the World Customs Federation, be advised that:
- Any goods temporarily imported into Brazil on or before 31 December 2021 will be allowed to complete their temporary admission, up to the final date of re-exportation or Carnet expiry date, and any such Carnets will have to be presented to Brazilian Customs on re-exportation.
- Valid Carnets in circulation with BR listed on the green cover will NOT be presented to Brazil after 31/12/2021 as BR customs will reject entry.
- Extension must be carried out before 31/12/2021 for goods that are currently in Brazil to avoid any issues with BR customs at the time of re-exportation.
