Simon, I was told to look up gumtree or other and to provide 3 differing quotes for the value of my 2003 klr and that Customs would charge 25% of the highest quote, refundable on exit in lieu of a carnet. I'm not sure of the duration allowed but I think I heard 2 years. Nor am I sure if this arrangement is exclusive to air or ship.
