Motorcycle air freight to Egypt
Hello everybody,
Me and three friends are riding from Cairo to Cape Town during November and December this year.
My question relates to the air freight to Cairo, and I hope someone has gone through this recently.
I have received quotes for the actual air freight, but this is not my concern as that is the easy part.
My question is with regards to custom clearance in Cairo: has anyone cleared their motorcycle themself? I will have a Carnet and all paperwork in place before the bike flies out. I was just quoted USD 950 by a custom clearance agent and that seems a bit excessive for me. Is it possible to go through this process without using a customs clearance agent and collecting your own motorcycle?
I understand that this type of bureaucracy can be tedious in Africa, but I am African and will be able to deal with the red tape.
Thanks in advance.
J
