Carnets to Russia and former USSR
 

I'm an Australian citizen, with a UK reg bike. A mate and I are planning a trip around Scandinavia and then heading into Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Poland and the Czech Republic. Are Carnets required for these countries? Does anybody have any tips for bike insurance for these countries?

Cookie,

As far as I know there are no carnets required for Russia, Poland or the Baltic States.

As for insurrance I can't help you. I am hanging on to my insurance via a Belgian company that also covers Russia and so.

When are you going? I am doing exactly the same trip out of Belgium with 2 friends in September. And somebody else is going in July to the nordcapp, but they where not sure if theu would come back through Russia.

Looks like it will get busy around the Baltic sea.
