A Carnet de Passages en Douanes (CPD) is an internationally recognised customs document that allows for the temporary, duty-free import of vehicles into countries—primarily outside Europe—that normally require a deposit or guarantee against import taxes.
Darwish Logistics supports clients in obtaining and managing Carnets under the legal framework of the UN Customs Conventions of 1954, 1956, and the 1990 Istanbul Convention.
Carnets are issued under the authority of the AIT and FIA, with select authorised organisations handling distribution. While CARS administers Carnets in the UK, Darwish Logistics facilitates the process for clients globally, guiding you through:
Eligibility and application
Country-specific Carnet requirements
Renewals, extensions, or re-issue if your journey exceeds one year
Let us simplify the Carnet process so your international transport runs smoothly and without delays.
The Carnet is a booklet made up of either 5, 10 or 25 pages. A 5-page Carnet allows the holder to temporarily import into 5 countries or on 5 different occasions. A 10 or 25 page Carnet covers the temporary importation procedure up to 10 or 25 times.
Each page is divided into three sections; the lower section is removed by Customs on entry into a country; the middle section is removed on exit; the top, counter-foil section, is stamped once on entry and once on exit. A country re-visited during the return journey will require a new page to be stamped.
It is vital that the holder gets these endorsements as they prove that a vehicle has complied with the temporary import conditions and discharge responsibility for any possible future import charges. Countries not covered by a particular Carnet are noted in a list of exclusions on each page and back cover of the booklet.
