Making Carnets Easy

Know before you go.  It's that simple.

Boomerang carnets® makes it easy for you!  Once you obtain your ATA Carnet from us, we provide all the essential information you will need to navigate domestic and foreign Customs.  You will find what you need on the Boomerang Carnet Jacket Folder, on our Website, by watching our Instructional Videos, or by calling Boomerang's Carnet Specialists who are available to assist you 24/7.  We want you to succeed and we do all we can to help you through the process of using your ATA Carnet.  Compliance with Customs Authorities is essential so that you do not incur any penalties or fees due to improper or negligent use.  We help you know what to expect and what your obligations are, whether you are a first-timer or seasoned ATA Carnet user.

CARNET JACKET FOLDER  It’s important to open your delivered ATA Carnet and take it out of the envelope so that you can familiarize yourself with it and check it for accuracy.  On the inside front and back cover of every Boomerang Carnet Jacket Folder there are Instructions printed on how to use your ATA Carnet with information detailing proper use, clearly laid out and easy to understand.  It’s accessible for you to refer to on every leg of your journey!  Instructions include:

• Definitions to explain terminology regarding your carnet.
   
• A Checklist on what you need to do upon receiving your carnet, what to verify for accuracy, and where to sign the carnet before use.  
   
• Clearing Customs carnet procedures necessary for departing and entering countries and Transiting a Country (if applicable).
   
• Final Return to the U.S. procedure on how to prepare your ATA Carnet and return it to Boomerang upon completion of the final trip.
