egypt carnet
bundu's right about Egypt ...when i went through not only did they check all of the details on the carnet minutely (including taking a tracing of the engine number) but also so checked for air con and other add-ons.
Interestingly though they didnt check on the value that I placed on my vehicle, and I don't recall them checking that the value of the carnet was 5 times the value placed on the car..perhaps however they were too interested in finding ways to rip me off..they seemed to particularly enjoy imposing the (then) new road tax rules for vehicles over 2000cc (or was it 2500cc?)
It took a friend 3 days to clear customs cos his paperwork wasnt in order, includinga train ride to Cairo!!!..
So whilst you may be able to blag your way through some borders i personally wouldnt try it in Egypt...good luck!!!!!!!!
