COVID-19 UPDATES

Italian customs allows a one month grace period from the expiry date on the original Carnet.

For ATA Carnet shipments in Italy seeking to take advantage of the grace period being offered need to email to the Italian NGA at estero@legalmail.it, as well as include USCIB in the cc at replacements@uscib.org, gsung@uscib.org, and tsample@uscib.org. The email should include: the reason for the delay in re-exportation is due to COVID-19 related complications, the ATA Carnet number, the expiration date and the name of the Customs office where the ATA Carnet is intended to be presented for re-exportation.
