fieldmixer Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Anyone been? Is a carnet absolutely necessary or can an itemized list stamped by customs do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddsound Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have only been to Seoul once and i had a carnet. They looked pretty carefully at most of my items. The camera guys I travelled with didn't get the same treatment. I would definitely have a Carnet for my gear in any country that recognizes them. Why test your luck with a foreign country. I want to have no hassles coming or going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lightstone, CAS Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Just FYI, the U.S. Customs Form 4455 is only to 'register' the goods leaving the U.S. and returning. http://www.atacarnet.com/cbp-form-4455 As Todd said, a Carnet is the safest way to bring your gear into and out of any foreign country.

johngooch Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Went there with a carnet. they looked it over carefully. Unless it is specifically a country that does not recognize carnet, I always get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmsalang Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 A carnet is necessary in my experience. Oh, I live in Korea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
