South Africa's Temp Import Permit & Selling Bike

gidday,

Im in South Africa at the moment and have my bike imported using a Temporarly Import Permit (TIP) rather than my Carnet de Passage.

What im wondering about is if i can pull it off to sell the bike locally and discarding the TIP. Concern is the level of IT organisation within customs.

I do believe that there is some sort of system that links TIPs against a persons passport and so major hassles flying out or even rejected from the flight.

A solution would be to apply for a new passport but no time for that..

Is there anyone who attempted such a scheme before? I would be very interested in your experiences...

Thanks
Meindert

As it happens flew out from Capetown without any hassles, not a question asked about the TIP.

TIP to South Africa on a Uk reg. bike

Hi all,

For charity I am ridding a 125cc from London to Johannesburg.Both I and the bike are UK registered. lol
Q. Can i at the SA / Namibia border TIP the bike? And what would i need to produce and costs ?

I plan to export the bike out a week or so after i get there,back to the uk.

All info would be great.
