By Carnet de Passages we mean a border document that is required for duty-free entry of land and water vehicles into certain countries in Africa, Asia, South America, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
Brief description
Carnet de Passages corresponds to a customs document and once issued can be used in many countries. The validity of this document is set at one year and also gives insurance coverage for the vehicle in question. The purpose is to facilitate the crossing of borders by vehicles in international road tourist traffic. Countries covered by this waive the acceptance of security in the form of cash and instead accept Carnet de Passages. The basic idea behind the carnet is to secure that a vehicle will not be sold privately after entering a country.
