How to Get a Carnet

There are four basic components to any Carnet application:

Carnet Application

A Carnet may be issued in the name of an individual or a company who must be a permanent resident of India. However, it may be used by any person providing the user carries a letter from the named holder authorizing such use. The holder may also allow an Agent to handle the Carnet through the customs on his behalf, again provided that the Agent holds a Letter of Authority. Download Letter of Authority Format (.pdf)
