Guarantee and Protection for Self-drive Tour Scheme
Self-drive Tour Carnet Guarantee
If you are a regular driver between Hong Kong and Guangdong Province, having a truly comfortable experience is crucial. This is where the Ad Hoc Quote Trial Scheme for Cross Boundary Private Cars (Self-drive Tour Scheme) comes in. We provide you with a Self-drive Tour Carnet Guarantee to help facilitate the relevant requirements without hassle, including the requirements by China Customs, to ensure your driving experience is comfortable and you travel stress-free.
The Guarantee
When you apply for Self-drive Tour Scheme, you need to apply for ATA Carnet issued by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) for the duty-free temporary admission of your private car into China. For the issuance of ATA Carnet, HKGCC will require you to provide a cash deposit or guarantee as security for the respective custom duties. Zurich's Self-drive Tour Carnet Guarantee provides guarantee to your custom duties, charges or penalties arising out of Self-drive Tour Scheme and up to a period of seven days, in the event that you fail to observe the respective customs requirements. We free you from the trouble of arranging cash security or applying bank guarantee for the short driving trip.
Whilst we provide guarantee to your custom duties, you have to fulfill your respective obligations to China Customs. For Zurich to act as your guarantor, you are required to provide a counter guarantee for indemnifying us of any duties, taxes and penalties as demanded.
