Carnets in the USA
Re Grants comments:
I flew the bike ('08 R1200GSA)from Australia to San Francisco last year, and customs would not let me in, initially, because they thought I might sell it in the US!
My agent ended up posting a bond for me, to allow me to get on with my adventure.
The EPA got involved as well, because they were concerned about the emissions!
Remember, this is an '08 Beemer.
This mess took five days to sort out.
A carnet would have helped, but you don't need one in the US.
Yeah right.
I'm sure they make it up as they go.
Cheers Errol
