Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers regarding HMRC CDS requirements, commodity codes, and clearance timelines.
What goods qualify for an ATA Carnet?
Commercial samples, professional equipment (cameras, musical instruments, tools), and goods for international trade exhibitions qualify. Consumable items do not.
Why is physical stamping mandatory?
Without an official Border Force stamp on the importation and exportation counterfoils, the issuing Chamber cannot release your deposit and duty penalties may be assessed.
