Selling a bike while travelling on a carnet?
 

I just completed a trip from India to Europe on a Hong Kong registered bike. I’ve used a carnet issued from HK to pass India, Nepal, Pakistan and Iran but no other country has needed it. I’m now in Sweden and consider selling the bike here instead of shipping it back to HK. The reason is that the market for selling the bike in Europe is much better than in HK. However, to get a carnet in HK you need to deposit 3x the bike value in cash rather than just paying an insurance policy so would not like to loose my cash.

Has anyone else sold a bike while out on a carnet or know the rules? I’m not sure HKAA know the exact rules either since they told me I’m the first taking a vehicle out of HK for this long.

The reply that is correct is by Silke Neumann where you asked the same question on Facebook.

I am sorry. I could’t find what Silke said on facebook. Could someone please share the wisdom? Very interesting topic!

I'm sure the OP will be able to locate it for you.

PS. It just popped up again on my FB timeline. It's as if FB can read my mind... :D
