Help with Carnets
 
Although I have ridden extensively in Australia and have been to over 20 countries, I don’t know much about Carnets except you I have to have one for some countries! Also, as I am presently working in China, I am very limited in what I can do from this end.
Next autumn, I plan on flying one way to London and buying a 1980’s model Tenere (hopefully for under 1000 pound) in England.
I plan on riding through France, Switzerland, Italy, boat to Tunisia, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt (maybe Sudan and Ethiopia), Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan. From Pakistan, I plan on leaving my bike and flying to China where I would continue my work. I would then come back to Pakistan and ride through the rest of Pakistan, India and Nepal in a different season.
Would I be allowed to leave my bike in Pakistan and fly out? What would they say at the airport? Has anyone done this?
Also, due to the expense of shipping to Australia as well as the cost of meeting ADR, I would ultimately prefer to sell the bike, give it away or ditch it in Pakistan, India or Nepal. Would I loose all the deposit for my carnet? Has anyone ever done this?
Also, does anyone have any idea about how much a carnet would cost in England for these countries and where is the best/cheapest place to get it from (remember that I am Australian).
Thanks.

Bryce,
Please be sure to see the pages on Carnets that already exist in the 'trip planning' section of this site, as well as the "carnet 101" post on this same section of the HUBB.

There is a huge amount of info there that will answer your questions.

In case you have trouble finding the reference:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tri...er/index.shtml

Also, try searching on 'carnet' in the HUBB search function:

(On the line that has: profile | register | preferences | faq | search )

As Wright says, there is already a huge amount of info. Once you've read through it, then come back to post more specific questions if you still have any.


------------------
Good luck and safe travels!
