The prohibition of bikes with more than 250ccm is indeed an old customs rule and was never really used. But currently the iranian trafficpolice has aggravated this sanction and ADAC is therefore worried about actual police controls inside Iran (not about the customs at the border). Thats why your first hand experience with these police controls could be useful for the ADAC.

If you got any spare-time you might consider to send ADAC a short mail (carnetdepassages@adac.de). Eventually they will update the info at the homepage and all the people could be a bit more at ease...

Just a thought bier

I called the ADAC today and they know that People have no problem.

In fact this information comes from the traffic police in Iran.

But still here we got stopped twice by the traffic police and no problem, we could go where we wanted.

We had no restrictions either in route or time.

The ADAC cannot issue Carnet at the moment ( internal rule ) if you want it for Iran.

But if you do not say that you need it for Iran, they will give it to you So just need it for India or Pakistan :innocent:

I confirm from Iran, no problem as soon as you have the Carnet de passage...
I meet some Turkish rider on the road and for them it is forbidden over 250cc (They have been refused at the border...) but no Carnet de passage for them.
So don't worry you can plan your trip!

We entered Iran with three F650GS Dakar with German plates three days ago from Meghri/Armenia. No problem at all, no restrictions of any kind. Carnet de Passage is strictly necessary, no way around.
Cheers
Chris

I just got this message of the ADAC:

Just for your information:

At the beginning of August we have received the information that the temporary importation into Iran of motorcycles with more than 250 cc is forbidden at the moment. We don’t know yet exactly all details but we are working at high pressure to obtain more information. Feedback from our customers who have recently travelled through Iran, we know that they had no problems with entry and exit Iran.
Please stay updated on our website www.adac.de/cdp-en.


So you know they are still working hard on the subject! Very friendly and helpful people of the ADAC!

The message from the ADAC is why this all came u an mad lots of rumors.

And since then there is no new information.
And I called them and they know that people get in and there is no problem at the border ( They heard it from many travellers ) but they do not bring the news on their homepage as announced.....

I guess the main question is whether they are still refusing to provide a carnet when you say you need it for Iran?
I have no problem with them mentioning there is some uncertainty about the official situation as long as they still provide a carnet to whomever wants one nonetheless.

JustMe 11 Oct 2018 13:20

They are not refusing. they fear you will come back ask for a refund if Iran does not admit you, as you have specifically asked for Iran. So just ensure that they promise that the only country declared void is Libya as usual and off you go.

When I talked to them on the phone 3 weeks ago, they definitely told me they have an internal order to refuse carnet if you only ask for Iran.

But they try to get around because they know that people get in without problems.

It is always the same when management gives an order and the regular office people know it is stupid and have to do their job

Enrer into Iran
 
Hi guys!

I have good news - I entered Iran from Turkey (Dogubayazit border) 2 days ago with my BMW G650 Sertao (2013). I had my visa and CdP in place and no one in the border tell me nothing about 250cc restrictions. Border crossing was smooth except for the fact that they make me buy the bike insurance there (100€) if I wanted to leave customs.

Best,
Juan (@suanderingaround)

Youve been f....d. Insurance for 3 months is about 35€ max. (Been there in September only with 3 F650.) Insurance is not compulsory so you better tell that to customs and go to the next border city like Jolfa purchasing insurance. Hope you paid in Rial as the exchange rate for 100€ is 14.5 million on the street instead of 7 million official ...

Sure you get in, that is what everyone writes here since weeks

MuzToo 18 Nov 2018 17:33

I had several e-mail with a partner of our in Iran about the issue.
Knowing many official people, she asked all of them for advise and insight.
Key is, if you have a visa and the Carnet de Passage, they let you in. Same as before.
Someone renting a 600cc from MuzToo is in Iran as I am writing here . . .
There was not even a question at the boarder about the rule mentioned above.
Fur us this is real essential, as we will have a tour through Iran next May ;-)

Greetings
