Preparing a travel

Modified on Fri, 27 Mar at 1:54 PM

Before arriving at customs, you must prepare a travel declaration using the 'Prepare a Travel' feature. This step is essential for carnet holders or their representatives.

To prepare a travel:

	(a) Tap on Carnets from the main menu…
	(b) …or from the sidebar menu.
	Select the carnet you want to use by tapping on it.
	Tap on ‘Travels’ on the bottom and then the + button on the top right corner.
	Fill in the required fields. If required and you have transit sets available, add transit countries/territories by tapping on + and selecting the countries/territories intended to transit through. Tap on + in the Declared items.
	Type in the goods to declare from the General List of the ATA Carnet in the field on the top of the screen to add them to the travel. Alternatively, use the + and – buttons to add individual items or you may select / unselect all. You may also tap on Select all if required. Once all goods have been added, tap on the ← on the top left corner to go back to the Prepare Travel screen.
	Tap on Save to save the travel.
	To modify a travel, simply tap Edit and after the edits have been made tap Save. You may also Delete prepared travels if needed and if not yet transacted.

Please consult the Special Scenarios chapter for comprehensive guidance on preparing a travel under specific circumstances.

NB:

Prepared travels synchronize between devices. A travel prepared on one device for a carnet will appear on another device with the same carnet downloaded.
A travel can be saved and prepared in multiple stages. Make sure all the fields are complete before going to Customs to process a transaction.
Once a travel is prepared, the holder can share one or more vouchers with his representative who shall make the declaration at customs. Please see the “Sharing a voucher” section to learn more.
A prepared travel consumes 1 ‘set’ (exportation, importation, re-exportation, re-importation, transit) of the ATA Carnet. Only by deleting the prepared travel will you be topped back of the corresponding sets.
