FAQ

Frequently asked questions regarding international shipping of vehicles

  1. 1

    What is the Customs Clearance Carnet and how do you get it?

    The Customs Clearance Carnet is a customs document created in 1913 to simplify customs formalities for tourists and travelers in motor vehicles, and to protect signatory countries from any "wild" importation. Even if its use has diminished, it is required in a number of countries in the Middle East, Asia, and to a lesser extent Africa.

    The Customs Clearance Carnet identifies the motor vehicle or other equipment (telecommunications material, precious baggage, etc.): manufacturer, model, color, motor, serial number, owner, and value.

    Travelers can obtain their Carnet from an Automobile Club in their country, usually by paying a bank deposit or a security deposit.

    How can you prepare a vehicle for international transport?

    • It is recommended to perform any maintenance operation needed prior to shipment.
    • It is prudent to protect or remove any detachable part, like the antenna.
    • The vehicle should be perfectly clean in order to facilitate the inventory of its condition.
    • To use a roll on / roll off service, the vehicle should be in working order and a spare set of keys should be provided. Generally speaking, it is recommended for the gas tank to be 1/4 to 1/2 full.
    • For air transport, the tank should be as low as possible and the car emptied of its personal effects.
    • Any car alarm system should be deactivated.
    • Original documents must be returned to us.

    Why choose a certified AEO-Full shipping agent?

    The "AEO" (Authorized Economic Operator) accreditation is awarded by the Customs Administration to companies that satisfy strict customs criteria and demonstrate continuous quality, conformity, and reliability along the international logistical chain.

    Working with a " AEO - Full" freight forwarder gives you, as a shipper, the following advantages:

    • Fluidification of your customs operations,
    • Reduced and optimized physical and documentary controls for your goods,
    • Recognised status in the European Union as a whole and in the world as a whole.

    MATHEZ FREIGHT is one of the top 30 IATA agents in France, and since 2013 has been granted the AEO-Full status, which includes the AEO "customs simplification" certificate and the AEO "security-safety" certificate. When you work with MATHEZ FREIGHT, you can be assured that all your customs operations throughout the EU and beyond will be carried out accurately, reliably and professionally, to the highest standards.
