What does CARNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
An official document that allows goods or a vehicle to cross an international border temporarily without paying full customs duty, or a book of tickets or coupons.
A carnet acts as a kind of passport for goods, most often used by businesses moving equipment, exhibition materials or samples abroad for a limited time, since it lets customs officers confirm the items will leave the country again rather than being sold. Drivers taking a private vehicle across certain borders may also need a carnet, which records the car's details so it cannot simply be abandoned or sold in the country visited. The word comes from French, where carnet simply means notebook or booklet, and the same root gives the older sense of a carnet as a book of tickets or coupons for travel. Customs authorities and freight companies still use the French spelling and pronunciation, even in English speaking countries.
