ATA Carnet Lost Document Coverage
ATA Carnet Lost Document Coverage will help with avoiding costly fees and delays associated with losing an ATA Carnet in a foreign country. The ATA Carnet is still a physical document that is required to be presented to Customs along with the goods; we understand how easy it may be to misplace documents in today’s increasingly electronic world.

The problem with a misplaced ATA Carnet is that you or your customer will be literally stuck and unable to clear Customs. Since the ATA Carnet must be present to enter or exit the foreign country, as well as re-enter the United States, a Duplicate ATA Carnet must be obtained. If the proper coverage is not purchased at time of the ATA Carnet application, the cost of obtaining the Duplicate ATA Carnet can run up to $500. In contrast, Lost Document Coverage is a flat $35 regardless of the value of the goods and when a Duplicate ATA Carnet is needed all charges are waived.
