The security will then be returned to the Holder, normally within 14 days exclusive of public holidays, provided that no regularization action is required. If the goods, partially or all, fail to leave the temporary entry country(ies), there are mistakes or omissions in the Carnet's documents, illegal alterations or suspicious points when exercising the Carnet to enter and exit the customs, goods or Carnet documents are partially or all stolen or lost (although with Reports provided by the Police), the Holder may be charged for taxes or fined by the relevant customs.
