FAQ

Frequently asked questions about international vehicle transport

  1. 1

    What is the Carnet de Passage en Douane (CPD) and how do I get one?

    The Carnet de Passages en Douane (CPD) is a customs document created in 1913 to simplify customs formalities for tourists and motorized travelers, and to protect signatory countries from "uncontrolled" imports. Although its use is declining, it is still mandatory in many countries in the Middle East, Asia and, to a lesser extent, Africa.

    The carnet de passage en douane (CPD) identifies the motor vehicle, or other equipment (telecommunications equipment, precious luggage, etc.): manufacturer, model, color, engine, serial number, owner and value.

    Travelers can obtain their Carnet from their country's Automobile Club, often subject to a bank deposit.

    • We recommend that you carry out any necessary maintenance before shipping.
    • Any removable parts, such as the antenna, should be protected or removed.
    • The vehicle must be perfectly clean to facilitate the inventory of fixtures.
    • To use a roll on / roll off service, the vehicle must be in working order and a duplicate set of keys must be provided. A 1/4 to 1/2 full tank is generally recommended .

    Why choose a certified AEO-Full shipping agent?

    AEO(Authorized Economic Operator) accreditation is granted by the customs authorities to companies that meet strict customs criteria and demonstrate consistent quality, compliance and reliability in the international supply chain.

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

    • Faster customs operations,
    • Reduced and optimized physical and documentary controls for your goods,
    • Recognised status in the European Union and in the world.

    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.
