ATA Carnet, The Jeweler’s Passport for International Trade Shows

GemGenève May 11-14

Jewelers the world over are looking forward to GemGenève, the gem and jewelry trade show being held in Switzerland May 11-14.  It is one of the highlights among the forty-eight international jewelry trade exhibitions already scheduled throughout the world in 2023.  Preparation for a show of this magnitude and quality requires time to formulate and exact.  If you are planning to be an Exhibitor in GemGenève or any of the jewelry trade shows this year, boomerang carnets® can issue your Jeweler’s Passport, otherwise known as the ATA Carnet, whenever you need it.  Boomerang has 36 years of experience servicing the jewelry industry and we know the standard of service, pricing, and security that jewelers demand.

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 87+ carnet countries and territories for up to a year.  The ATA Carnet is known as the Merchandise Passport for boomerang freight® and ideal for jewelers traveling abroad with merchandise that will return to the country of origin.  Without it, duties and taxes must be paid to foreign customs or cash must be posted to secure a Temporary Importation Bond (TIB) in each country.  That can add up, especially when you are traveling to more than one country with your goods.  Unlike a TIB, the ATA Carnet provides the added security of two, or more, customs services (foreign and domestic) approving the cross-border movement of goods in advance.
 

Benefits of The Jeweler’s Passport / The ATA Carnet:

• Potential customers can see firsthand the quality of your merchandise.
• Attending or exhibiting at one of the many international jewelry shows is affordable.
• ATA Carnets are good for up to a year enabling you to expand your exhibition itinerary to more than one destination with your samples.

Boomerang also provides Competitive Carnet Bond Rates. 

Obtaining a competitively priced carnet bond is part of the service at Boomerang. 
Representing worldwide insurance organization Lloyd’s of London, Boomerang has received permission from its underwriters for special pricing for jewelers that qualify.
