Meanwhile, Carnet de Passages is also an appendix to all three conventions as a passage for the mentioned vehicles, without paying customs duties or taxes.
The temporary papers for Carnet de Passages are also an international customs document and a valid international guarantee to cover customs duties and taxes.
