 Letter of Commitment in case of going abroad without a vehicle.

Upon arrival at the border gates, foreign guests are informed that they must leave their vehicles within the country and, in case they are faced with a situation where they may have to go abroad by plane or on foot, leave their vehicles at a customs office and give an undertaking stating that their vehicles will not be used during this period. However, when many people neglect this, they may face high fines upon exit. In order not to victimize people in cases where there is no intent or negligence, customs directorates provide the opportunity to pay these fines at lower rates through customs reconciliation commissions.
