What Is a Carnet? Understanding CPD Documentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Carnet” covers two different documents, and it’s worth knowing which one applies to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An ATA carnet is for commercial goods, professional equipment, or samples – not for a personal vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CPD carnet (carnet de passage en douane), also called a carnet de voyage, is the one you need if you’re taking your own car overseas. It’s essentially a passport for your vehicle: an internationally recognised customs document that lets you temporarily import your car into a foreign country without paying import duties and taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of it like your own passport: your vehicle needs its own documentation to travel. The CPD carnet guarantees to foreign customs that your vehicle will be re-exported at the end of your trip. Without it, you risk vehicle seizure or significant fines at the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you relocating and want to move your vehicle permanently? In that case we can give you advice about importing a car<\/a>, whether it’s from Australia to NZ or elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
