	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Agnew of Oulton on 15 February (HL12770), whether (1) ATA Carnets, and (2) portable musical instruments, are included on the List of Goods Applicable to Oral and By Conduct Declarations.

	uin	HL13370
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2021 answer text <p>The ATA Carnet system is an internationally agreed method of moving certain goods between customs territories temporarily (i.e. a passport for goods). An ATA Carnet simplifies the customs formalities by allowing a single document to be used for clearing goods through customs in the countries that are part of the ATA Carnet system. The ATA Carnet must be presented to customs for endorsement each time the goods enter or leave a customs territory. This is currently a manual, paper-based process and therefore not appropriate for oral and by conduct declarations. It is valid for one year and allows for movement of the goods shown on the Carnet as many times as required during the 12 months to any of the destinations applied for.</p><p> </p><p>Portable musical instruments are on the List of Goods Applicable to Oral and By Conduct Declarations.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 03/03/2021 12:23:54 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether (1) customs declarations are, or (2) an ATA Carnet is, required for the movement of musical instruments and equipment between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
	tabling member printed	Lord Black of Brentwood
	uin	HL12931
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/02/2021 answer text <p>No export or exit declarations are required for goods leaving Great Britain (GB) for Northern Ireland (NI).</p><p> </p><p>On entry into NI from GB, if musical instruments and equipment are to be used for commercial purposes, some additional process is required, as with other goods. If they are accompanied (for example, if contained in a passenger’s baggage) then the person carrying them will be deemed to have made a declaration by conduct. If the instruments and equipment are not accompanied (for example, they are carried as freight) then a declaration will be required.</p><p> </p><p>Most goods in free circulation in Northern Ireland – including musical instruments and equipment – currently benefit from unfettered access to GB, such that no customs declarations are required either on exit from NI or entry to GB.</p><p> </p><p>ATA Carnets are an option for temporarily moving goods between the UK, EU and NI. Use of an ATA Carnet is generally a commercial decision based on cost effectiveness and an individual’s/business’s circumstances.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 17/02/2021 12:03:09 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

Using Temporary Admission means any import duty or import VAT is suspended as long as the goods are removed from the UK at a later date. Temporary Admission is useful if a person needs to import goods such as samples, professional equipment or items for auction, exhibition or demonstration temporarily into the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Returned Goods Relief (RGR) allows eligible items to be reimported free from customs duty and import VAT.
