Use Boomerang Carnets & Begin Expansion into New Markets
International Trade Shows and Expos are strategically targeted events designed to provide Exhibitors with ample opportunities to connect face-to-face with key decision makers in companies interested in your goods and services. In-person trade events foster new connections making them incredibly valuable and 97% of executives say they generate great ROI.
Boomerang carnets® recently joined forces with the U.S. Commercial Service to present “ATA Carnets and Tools for International Exhibitors,” a webinar on exhibiting at international trade events in Mexico using an ATA Carnet to clear exhibition booths, demo equipment and other materials through foreign customs. ATA Carnet use for international trade show exhibiting can be an expedient and economical way to grow your business in international markets. Its benefits can be utilized by SMEs, Individuals, and Corporations to equal advantage.
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 12 months. The ATA Carnet is known as the Merchandise Passport for boomerang freight® and ideal for Commercial Samples, Professional Equipment, and Goods for Display at Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. At the end of the period of validity, all the items listed on the carnet return to the U.S., thus the term boomerang freight.
Please note that Mexican Customs allows ATA Carnets and their goods to remain in Mexico for up to 6 months. An extension can be requested PRIOR to the expiration of the 6-month period. The ATA Carnet can be key to jump-starting an export program. Just Carnet It!
