Central America TIP suspension / Long term storage for vehicle / Exit with expired TI

Dear Fellows Adventurers,

Currently riding in Honduras, I need to fly to Europe this summer and will have to leave my californian plated KLR during several months. Do you have a clue on the followings :

- Freezing the local Temporary Importation Permit : is it possible in any country of Central America? Period allowed and fees involved ?

- Storing the bike in the customs warehouse : is it necessary to freeze the TIP or can I just freeze and store the bike in a private place? How can I contact the customs to ask for the address, process and fees ? Even with research in Spanish they are hard to find.

- Storing the bike in a private place, let expire the date allowed by the TIP and take the risk to pay a fine while exiting the country in the future : did anyone experience this ? What kind of amount can be expected ?

I am flexible on the country I would store the bike in, don't mind (actually would enjoy) riding extra few days to ensure good storage conditions at fair costs.

Any input will be much appreciated !

Johan

Hey,

I need a lot of the same information, but I can answer at least one question. You can leave your bike in Honduras without having to take it to a customs garage. I just got back after 3 weeks in the US - no problem at all. The kicker (which won't help you) is that it doesn't stop the click for the time that you are permitted when you were stamped in.

Nicaragua overstay fines

If you overstay the original 30 days Nicaragua gives you, without extending in Managua you will be charged $50+ 1$/day. I paid this rate in August 2018.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
