Carnet de Passages en Douane

WHAT IS A "carnet de Passage en douane" OR car-nay?

is a "Notebook for Passing Through Customs" or carnet or called a triptic.

A carnet is a simple customs document, being a passport for your motor vehicle/ motorcycle when you take it overseas & thru countries as on a tour. It allows temporary import for a limited period of time without paying money at each border, so its like customs duty and other excise taxes except no payment is necessary. It saves you time and hassles.

The vehicle, to which the carnet refers, once having been granted temporary importation status, must be removed from the country within the time limit imposed by that country. If it is not, the country will be paid all duties and taxes that would normally be required to permanently import the vehicle. The carnet is restricted to the countries listed on the back cover and it is valid for one year from the date of issue.

The carnet comes in the shape of a number of sheets, usually ten or twenty-five, stapled together into a book. Each sheet is divided into three perforated sections and each section has details of your vehicle on it. On entry to a country, at the customs check point, the officials will stamp a entry on the souche of the carnet de passage en douane and an exit stamp will be stamped when you exit the country. The double stamped counterfoil, which remains in the carnet, acts as a receipt proving that you have left the country with your vehicle.

 If you require to extend the carnet up to 3 months, you may request through the guaranteeing association in the country you are visiting. The guaranteeing association will transmit this request to its customs authorities and complete the necessary procedures

Once you have completed your trip and returned to your home country you must discharge your carnet. You must return the double stamped counterfoils, along with any unused sheets of the carnet to the relevant Automobile Association or Organisation that issued it and they will discharge the carnet. Failure to do this or if you do not have all the double stamped counterfoils could prove costly, as you may not receive any deposit held by the organisation or even have to pay importation duties on your vehicle.

ENTERING Singapore they will not accept the carnet until YOU get an endorsement stamp from Singapore AA (but you might not need that if you enter on the weekend) so the only place to get this stamp is in Singapore and they won't allow you to leave the bike at the border to get it but send you back to Malaysia to enter without the bike and go by bus, then return to Malaysia, collect the bike and you're there, a total headache.
