Carnet extension and substitution
If you are on a Carnet de Passage en Douane that has been issued outside of South Africa you are able to either extend the carnet for up to 90 days or exchange it for a new carnet lasting a further year. This means your car can stay in SACU for a maximum of two years, you can then cross into Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia or Angola and return and restart your 2 year process. Following we will explain both process to you.
Extension – 90 days and Substition – 1 year
