Procedure Nepal side and Malaysia side
Tried entering a shipping experience in the HU shipping database but their page keeps throwing an error code.
NEPAL side
We built the crate to our preferences (compact, light yet strong) together with the carpenter from Team Work. We did so at the secluded parking of the Backpackers Inn, 5 min walk from Team Work Cargo. That is recommended because otherwise we had to do it outside in a busy street. Then they took the crate to customs in a little truck where we put the bikes in the crate. Customs stamped the carnets right away and didn't even bother checking the VIN numbers.
Just be sure to start ATM runs asap in order to get the cash together as Nepal has a weekly limit for withdrawal so sufficient time and/or multiple credit cards might be required. They also accept USD and EUR at the official daily exchange rate. As usual, it is payment bedore shipment.
MALAYSIA side
The whole process in Kuala Lumpur took about three hours and that includes uncrating and reassembling the bikes at the warehouse:
1. Book a room in Tune Aeropolis Hotel (5 min walk from customs and warehouse)
2. Get in touch with Mr Cheong (whatsapp: +60 11-1235 9976) who arranged for the required ICP and insurance in a matter of hours
3. Get your free acces permit for the Cargo Village at SCAF, first floor, 5 min walk.
4. To customs with your carnet
5. Collect the bikes from MASCargo warehouse (core 2 ground floor)
6. Final check by customs and off you go!
