CBP recognizes ATA carnets as a mechanism to temporarily import eligible goods into the United States under carnet procedures. CBP’s official ATA Carnet FAQ describes the carnet as simplifying CBP formalities for temporary importation and explains general carnet use/processing expectations at entry and re-exportation.<ref name="cbp-carnet-faq">CBP — ''ATA Carnet Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)'' https://www.cbp.gov/trade/programs-administration/entry-summary/ata-carnet-faqs</ref> | |||
CBP’s carnet regulations (19 CFR Part 114) specify the categories of goods that may be covered by an ATA carnet, including '''commercial samples''', '''professional equipment''', and '''exhibitions/fairs''' under the applicable international conventions.<ref name="cfr-114-22">19 CFR § 114.22 — ''Coverage of carnets'' (Cornell LII) https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/19/114.22</ref> | |||

In the highway environment, carnet processing frequently involves presenting the carnet paperwork at the port for CBP validation and following the instructions of the port and the filer’s service provider. Some ACE highway filing guidance from service providers states that carnet cargo may be handled by transmitting the trip/conveyance portion and omitting standard electronic cargo/shipment details for carnet moves; carriers should follow current CBP guidance and their provider’s documented process for highway mode carnet movements.<ref name="cbp-carnet-faq" /><ref name="provider-carnet">CrimsonLogic North America — ''ACE Highway 18 – How do I file an ATA Carnet?'' https://crimsonlogic-northamerica.com/docs/ace-highway-18-how-do-i-file-an-ata-carnet/</ref> | |||
