fake carnet? cheaper loosing vehicle than paying for a real one?
Let me start off by saying I would never do this and would and ever promote anyone doing this,
Looking at the costs of a real carnet in the UK via the rip off merchants that are the RAC, woulnt it be easier and cheaper just to fake a carnet?
Put it this way, at 800% for just an Egypt carnet i would loose less money if I was cought out and them taking my vehicle than actually getting a real carnet in the 1st place.
Very basic calculation of Egypt at 800%
£1000 (minimum) vehicle value = £8000 carnet
50% back on returning = total cost of £4000
If I got cought and lost my £1000 vehicle im still up £3000, and even if they fine me there own massive import duty of 240%, im still saving £600
When I received my last one years ago I got back 95% of the cost which was fine. I also remember the documents looking so basic. I'm a graphic designer and I recon I could make a full document in a matter of hours.
Or,a bit more legal....ish, just privately import your vehicle into each country and it will still be cheaper than a carnet.
Its only a silly idea and i have probaby got it wrong anyway, but it did cross my mind
