Security Deposits

 

 

All Carnets require a security deposit, 40% of the value of the General List.

Road vehicles covered by a Carnet require 100% security for corporations or 150% if the Holder is an individual, and all vehicles visiting China require a minimum of 100% Security deposit. 

 

 

 

CASH

Certified checks and money orders made payable to USCIB (minimum $100).

 

 

 

SURETY BOND

Surety bonds may be obtained through Carnet HQ or from any of the 200 companies authorized by the U.S. Treasury Department, admitted in New York State, and have an A.M. Best rating of A- or better. Bond premiums are typically 1% of the bond amount  ($50.00 minimum premium may apply).

 

 

 

REFUNDABLE CLAIM DEPOSIT (RCD)

In lieu of a cash deposit, federal, state, and local government agencies may remit an RCD of $250 per Carnet. The RCD is in addition to the Basic Fee and should be remitted at the time of payment.  Agencies submitting an RCD must also complete the Application for Waiver of Security.

 

Beginning January 1, 2010 only Federal entities will be eligible for RCDs.

 

 

WRITTEN AGREEMENT

Available to USCIB members only through December 31, 2009. Beginning January 1, 2010 a new program goes into effect for select members.

 

 

Cash deposits and RCDs are returned in full. Surety bonds are terminated once the original Carnets have been returned for cancellation and no claims are anticipated by Carnet HQ. While Carnets are good for up to one year, if a claim arises, it may be necessary to hold the security deposit until the claim is resolved.

 

 

 

 

 

Payments

 

 

Payment for all Carnet services may be made in the form of a check or money order payable to USCIB, or credit card (up to $1000 on Visa, AmEx, or MasterCard).

 

 

Power of Attorney

 

 

If a customs broker, freight forwarder or agent is preparing the application on behalf of a Carnet holder, a Power of Attorney must accompany this application.  Please contact your service provider for a Power of Attorney form.

 

 

 

SEDs – Shipper’s Export Declaration (U.S. Dept. of Commerce Form 7525V)

 

 

Effective July 2, 2008, ATA Carnets are exempt, except those exports that require licensing, from filing SEDs, either the paper or AES version.
