I have found a very simple solution to all my carnet worries.
Don't get a carnet, pay the import duty deposit instead.
On a credit card!
Most credit cards (in NZ at least) offer 55 days interest free on credit cards. So provided you leave the country you're traveling in and pay the readies back to your credit card provider within the 55 days it won't cost a dime.
Super simple. Just involves shuffling numbers... Maybe I should become a stock broker?
Cheers guys. The nice people up at Visa have made all my worries vaporise. Priceless and all that.
Cheers.
