I agree with above, but I would like to add that if coming from South Korea by ferry (or from Russia) you could also add Japan to your list, not needing a Carnet but getting temporary import as well. I know it was not your question :P

Good morning

All good info, I have a carnet now, cost was $1450.00 NZD and was advised by the shipper to get, Korea have said they don't require it, none of the other countries as listed require a Carnet as far as I am aware, the AA in NZ have said I can get a refund if I want, or my other choice then is to make use of it and hit Iran as they do require a Carnet.

$1450 is some good travel money if it is not required in a Carnet....

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
