What is Carnet de passages en douane (CPD)?

The Carnet de Passages en Douane, or CPD, is the international customs document that covers the temporary admission of motor vehicles to the territory of a state. 

The Carnet constitutes an international guarantee for payment of customs duties and taxes to a government should the vehicle not be re-exported from that country. The Carnet allows travelers to temporarily import their vehicles without having to leave a cash deposit at the border.

What means of transport are covered by CPDs?

The CPD is required in numerous countries around the world for the temporary admission of private automobiles, commercial vehicles, or other categories of motor vehicles. 

Who issues CPDs?

The Alliance Internationale de Tourisme (AIT) and the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) play a major role in the international application of the CPD system. These associations guarantee and issue CPDs within the well-defined parameters of the AIT/FIA customs documents network.

Are CPDs used in Europe?

The CPD is not required in Europe for private or commercial vehicles. In Belgium, Denmark, Finland and Greece, the CPD is used only for special categories of vehicles such as racing cars, ambulances, etc. In Turkey, the CPD is accepted, but a local document may be purchased at the border in the place of a carnet. The CPD is useful in Turkey for buses, radio/TV vehicles and breakdown vehicles.

What is the legal basis?

The CPD is used within the framework of the United Nations Customs Conventions of 1954 and 1956, which cover, respectively, the temporary importation of private and commercial road vehicles. The CPD also forms part of the 1990 Istanbul Convention, administered by the World Customs Organization.

Prekių laikinojo saugojimo pažeidimai ir jų teisinio vertinimo aktualijos (I dalis): nusižengimai susiję su veiklomis laikinojo saugojimo sandėliuose
31-05-2022

Vienas iš esminių muitinės formalumų, su kuriuo tenka susidurti daugeliu prekių atgabenimo į ES muitų teritoriją atvejų, yra laikinasis saugojimas – ES muitų teisės aktuose apibrėžta būsena, … kurioje prekės yra prižiūrimos tol, kol joms nebus įforminta jų galutinį muitinį statusą apibrėžianti muitinės procedūra. Akcentuotina, kad laikinojo saugojimo tinkamo vykdymo užtikrinimo tikslais muitų teisės aktai nustato konkrečius griežtus bei imperatyvius reikalavimus, kurių nesilaikymas gali užtraukti administracinę atsakomybę. Atsižvelgiant į tai, šiame straipsnyje, įvertinus aktualią pastarųjų metų (nuo 2019 m.) teismų praktiką, apžvelgiamas vienas iš teisinės atsakomybės už prekių laikinojo saugojimo pažeidimus taikymo elementų – nusižengimų, susijusių su laikinojo saugojimo sandėlių veikla, teisinis vertinimas ir jo naujovės bei aktualijos.
