Procedure
To initiate the temporary export using ATA Carnet, there are 2 parties involved:
Carnet Holder:
The Carnet Holder is the entity responsible for any duties, taxes, or penalties if the goods are not re-exported from the foreign country within the required timeframe.
The Holder's information is listed in box A on the Carnet Green Cover.
Authorized Representative:
The Authorized Representative is an entity or individuals authorized by the Holder to submit the ATA Carnet application on their behalf and/or to present the Carnet to customs on their behalf.
Usually, this is where the freight forwarder or customs broker is listed in box B on the Carnet Green Cover.
The ATA Carnet application process is conducted by the Carnet Holder or an authorized representative. Here are the steps involved:
Step 1: Prepare your documents
Ensure your Carnet form is typed with your information. Handwritten copies will be rejected.
Each Carnet can be used up to a maximum of 8 entries to a foreign country. Confirm the number of country entries in the application and pay RM50 per country during the application.
Submit the completed documents at any MICCI Branch office for processing.
Step 2: Prepare the payments
All applicants need to pay for processing fee and security deposit.
1. Processing fee
The fee rate depends on the time it takes to process the application.
The below rates include 1 entry to a foreign country. For additional entries, you will be charged RM50 each and only allow for a maximum of 8 entries per Carnet document.

There are 4 methods of payment:
2. Security deposit
The amount of the security deposit is determined by whichever is higher: 50% of the value of goods covered by the Carnet or equal to the highest rate of duty and taxes applicable to the goods in any country of destination and transit.
There are 3 methods of payment:
Online transfer (preferred)
Bank draft
Bank guarantee (applicable only for amounts exceeding RM20,000 and must be valid for a minimum of 31 months from the date of issue)
Step 3: Collect the Carnet
MICCI will not release your carnet until all documents are complete and the required fees have been paid. Make sure all documents and payments are in order to avoid delays in issuance.
Contact MICCI’s Processing Department to confirm whether your carnet is ready, depending on the processing time chosen.
Once confirmed, collect the carnet from the Mont’ Kiara office.
Step 4: Clear Malaysia Customs
As the Carnet holder/representative, you must clear the goods with Malaysian Customs authorities.
If the goods are numerous or complicated, a Customs inspection may be arranged before the date of departure.
The temporary exportation follows the same procedure as normal export except the ATA Carnet document is used for Customs endorsement in place of Customs documents.
The front green cover must be completed, signed, and stamped by Malaysian Customs, as indicated in the "Certificate By Customs Authorities" column.
Also, ensure that the yellow exportation voucher and counterfoil are completed, signed, and stamped by the Holder/Representative and Malaysian Customs.
