Mary: That's exactly my problem. One day I get information that confirms my plans to export. The next, the opposite. I have a feeling that I will have no problem getting my car to Qatar and parking it until I get my RP and ID to register it. But, then, when I actually go to get it inspected for insurance and registration, WHAMOO! -- no can do. I've been emailing embassies and consulates, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No answers, save the one face-to-face answer from the Qatar consulate in Abu Dhabi. I think I will start faxing them until their machines run out of paper. One freight forwarder has already told me that most likely it will be impossible. Hope springs eternal, but it is still not looking good. Thanks, Mary, for your advice.
