can u tell from to which indian sea port do u need it.
give me the details so i can get u some gud enuf rates...
plus tell me if it is transit( carnet de passage)or permanent basis.
the details should be in this order

1. Car Make - Model - Year
2. Invoice Value
3. L x W x H of the car
4. The Specs (i.e v6 , 2.7)

so i can revert with the charges to you.... from here till the clearance of the sea port over in india (or any other country)

as some of ppl know that working as the shipping coordinator....so might be helpful out to all those ppl who are importing or exporting the cars or anyother things. :wink:

Thanx khan...
The car will not be permanent and will be brought back within a months time.

Hyundai Coupe - 2005
Invoice value?? - Current value must be some 25 grands i guess (Brought it for 44Grands couple of years ago)
LXWXH hmm would be close to a civic
2.0 , 4 cylinder

Would that be enough or would you require more details.

Get me some nice price bro...

so it means that u need an export for re-import permit....
basically carnett de passage.(i think this is valid for a year or 6 months ) means u can keep ur car over there upto this time.
plus u have to note some things....
For this case
- There is no customs duty over there in india
- u just pay a guarantee check here in dubai ... which will be refunded to u once ur car is returned.
- Give me exact time frame that when u will be travelling... coz the shipping needs to be arranged prior coz it takes 18 days for all the procedure and shipping thru sea...
but If u decide to move it thru air - it is much more expensive....

will revert back with the all the charges once confirmed to me..
and tell u all the procedure.....

but plz mention the time frame u r travelling so that the day u reach india ur car will be at port...
and also tell me Nhava Sheva - Mumbai Sea port is OK or u need any other port to be delivered?????

any country accepting the "carnett de passage" terms accepts the terms of import for rexport for both LHD/RHD cars regardless of their traffic and driving system in their country.
