Storage
Could anybody let me know how long I can store our motorbike in Uruguay or Argentina (or anywhere else for that matter) We may need to store for up to 12 months.

Thanks
Paul

Motos_del_Perú,

>freezing the allowed time with a customs procedure

Can you detail the customs procedure? There is a lot of interest on this topic; many riders seeking the steps for long term storage. I have heard of storage businesses between the borders, physically located in the no mans land between two countries. There is such a garage between Colombia and Venezuela (east of Maicao, Co.) I have read and collected information about bonded warehouses, where all manner of imported items (including cars and motorcycles) can be stored for a fee while freezing the importation clock. The term used in Costa Rica for bonded warehouse is "Almacen Fiscal". The term may be different in other Latin countries. In Costa Rica suspending your TIV does not apply to insurance coverage (required in Peru.) Therefore on returning to the country you TIV will be reinstated, but you'll have to buy new insurance.

Make sure you properly suspend the TIV clock in Peru. It is an amazing country, but they will without question confiscate your motorcycle if you are even ONE day over the date noted on your TIV. It happened to a friend of mine. He tried everything to get his bike back, including hiring a lawyer...no luck.

Hi Peter. Thanks for ask.

In Peru the procedure to suspend the temporary time exists and is totally legal. First of all you need to find a reliable place where you can storage your bike. I think that this is the more difficult part of the issue.

Then you need to go to customs to start the paperwork, then with the local police, and finally again to customs to end the process. After that, the riders are free to return home, and customs will still working with the storager to verify the information. Finally customs will send by email the legal documentation saying that the time is suspended legally.

When the rider returns to Peru to continue the trip, is necesary do a small paperwork in customs and obtain a new documentation to restart the time and the bike can ride and go out of the country.

Sounds easy, but it needs some work and help.

Regards.
