ATA Carnets and the Boomerang Benefit Supports Customs Brokers and Forwarders

Call Boomerang Carnets, Your Carnet Specialists

Boomerang carnets® has proudly supported the Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of Northern California (CBFANC) since 2015.  This year, we were honored to be a Bronze Sponsor of the 2025 CBFANC Annual State of the Port Dinner, which took place on February 4 at the Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront in Burlingame, CA.  Featured presentations were conducted by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP), along with a comprehensive review of 2024 comparing port activity statistics for the West Coast.  It was an invaluable opportunity for attendees to connect directly with local CBP officials, brokers, forwarders, sureties, attorneys, carriers, and industry leaders.
 

The ATA Carnet in Global Trade

The ATA Carnet plays a vital role in facilitating temporary exportation.  With an ATA Carnet, you can access global markets economically and expediently.  Companies of any size can compete for opportunities across the globe.  Whether you’re a small or medium-sized enterprise or a large corporation, you can grow your business globally with the use of an ATA Carnet.  Forwarders and Customs Brokers can choose to utilize our services or direct customers to us for their ATA Carnets. 

The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document for temporarily exported merchandise or goods.  It allows cross border movement of those goods import-duty and -tax free into 90+ carnet countries and territories for up to 12 months.  The ATA Carnet is known as the Merchandise Passport for boomerang freight®.  ATA Carnets can be used to take equipment and gear across international borders for a contracted job, exhibit at an international trade show, or demo a prototype or product.  At the end of the 12 months, all the items listed on the carnet return to the country of origin, thus the term boomerang freight.
