TVIP duration for South Africa? Storage in Cape town?
Hi all,
I'm in Buenos Aires about to ship my bike to Cape Town. However, I don't plan to go to Cape Town myself for maybe up to 1 year and therefore I need to know would the importation document TVIP last that long? I don't have a Carnet nor plan on getting one
Also I'm wondering if anybody might be willing to store my bike in Cape town. It is an old Kawasaki KLR650 2003. Any assistance much appreciated.
kind regards
Declan

Declan. Impressive that you can ship from BA to South Africa without a carnet. I was told it was a requirement of shipping. Regards Simon

Yes, that was what I heard too. Only applies to entry by ship though

Hi Declan try Duncan @ African Overlanders. He can store your bike and could probably help you with information on TIP.

Simon, I was told to look up gumtree or other and to provide 3 differing quotes for the value of my 2003 klr and that Customs would charge 25% of the highest quote, refundable on exit in lieu of a carnet. I'm not sure of the duration allowed but I think I heard 2 years. Nor am I sure if this arrangement is exclusive to air or ship.
