my carnet expired while i was in namibia, so rather than cross into SA with an expired carnet, i had it stamped OUT of namibia, then got SA customs to give me a temp. import document.
however - the shipping agent says they need a valid carnet, and RACQ (issuing body) say australian customs need the carnet to be valid until the bike clears customs in australia.
1. whats the best shipping agent in cape town (or durban)
2. AASA is in jo'burg - long way from cape town. do i have to do the substitution form to get the carnet extended? i thought i just needed a stamp on the cover of the carnet
3. any other ideas? anyone shipped out WITHOUT using the carnet at all?
thanks
