China is NOT a Carnet country and a Carnet is not needed for foreign vehicles entering China. The end.

I have been riding through China on a foreign plated vehicle and a Carnet was not needed.

And a chinese ATA is not somerhing thats not relevant for anything else than chinese vehicles - and thus not relevant for other than chinese citizens. Whats the point caviling around on forums - do you think you will gain a prize or something?
Spreading non relevant info will certainly not...

Again read threads again "Stirletz" is thinking about buying a bike in China and taking out of China or did you miss that part.
So very relevant to the thread.
Not here to gain prizes just trying to help and pass on information which may or may not be useful.
My final word on this matter no doubt you will have the last say? Troll normally do.

TS says in his opening post that he is thinking about buying a bike in Thailand.
Then when he had come to mention buying a bike in China he stated that China is a Carnet country - which it not is. Have a read here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carn...ages_en_Douane

I needed a Carnet for my norwegian registrated bike to take it through certain countries - the Carnet requireing countries in the list above. So I got a Carnet from a norwegian automobil organisation. It doesnt make Norway a Carnet country - does it?
The same for China - you will need a Carnet to take a chinese plated vehicle through certain countries - but that doesnt make China itself a Carnet country either.

I have always thought that the general and normative meaning, usage and understanding of the term a "carnet country" is a country that requires a carnet from the person that take a foreign vehicle across the countrys borders - a carnet requiring country. If Im wrong here I have surely misunderstood hugely and thus ask for a an appology. However - if anybody disagree with me it could be intereting to here how others understand the term "carnet country"?

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.
