Comments: 

not too much changes from the information that already are on HU.
prices for 2005:
30R(~5US$) per kg for sending it to Frankfurt;
35R(~6US$) per kg for sending it to Warsaw;

for the 150kg yamaha TTR the total cost for sending it to warsaw was 6000R (~1000US$);

the custums are open till 16.00. there is only one guy there who knows whats a carnet; we have arrived to SAA cargo around 12.00 and recieved the last stamp from custom just when they were closing, so dont be later;

when we have send the bikes somebody told us that now the best prices for cargo are in KLM, but I did not chceck this, so dont know whats the difference;

all this was much easier then sending my transalp from Dakar to Warsaw 5 years ago;

the rate US$ to Rand is not so good now (1$ = 6R), thats why it was bit more expensive then I thought it will be;
