ANTARCTICA TO BEGIN ACCEPTING ATA CARNETS

As of June 29, 2007 carnets may be used to travel to Antarctica if the customs jurisdiction immediately prior to entering Antarctica is a member of the ATA Carnet system.

For example, if customs clearance is made through a New Zealand customs check point, the Carnet will be an accepted means of customs clearance.  If, on the other hand, the goods enter via the territorial claim of Argentina, a carnet will not be accepted as Argentina is not part of the ATA Carnet scheme.

To view the territorial claims of Antarctica, visit  Antarctica Resources

Please contact the UK Carnet HelpLine® , 0.808.189.3400, for additional information if you are planning to use a carnet for travel to Antarctica, experience any problems or have questions about this situation.   You may also e-mail us.
