Hi, cautionary tale here. Make sure, as Klaus said that you keep copies of the docs.
I rode to Kyrgyzstan via Russia and Kazakhstan summer 2016.
So when I entered the Russian/ central Asian custom zone, I had the TiP that I kept all the way to Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyz is now in the custom zone. Our bikes were transported by truck back from Kyrgyz to the UK.
Few months later I got a letter for the Russian custom office in Moscow asking me details of our bikes whereabout, as they still had the bikes as within the custom zone.
I got all the transport docs from the transport company ( they are absolutely NOT to blame here I must add, they were brillant).
Anyway, I sent all docs, including clearing custom docs, by email to russia, to prove the bikes left the custom zone a long time ago, and have not heard since from them, so I guess all is clear.
But better keep copies of docs or you could be sent a big bill to pay!
