Shocking Truth of ATA Carnets Revealed to CFOs

ATA Carnet: An Essential Tool in the Current    Economic Landscape

In this slow growth economy ATA Carnets make your dollar go further so boomerang carnets® presented a 30-minute webinar featuring experts on the strategic use and cost saving potential of ATA Carnets, “CFO Exclusive – Unique International Trade Tool Eliminates Overseas Deposits.”  Watch it here.

The webinar was developed exclusively for CFOs on the financial management potential of the ATA Carnet or “Merchandise Passport.”  The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document that allows temporary importation of goods and merchandise into 87+ countries and territories import-duty and -tax free for up to a year.

Experts Curt E. H. Wilson, President & CEO of Boomerang Carnets, Declan Daly, Senior Vice President & CFO, the United States Council for International Business, and Kiel Ursin, ATA Carnet Specialist, Boomerang Carnets, laid out the benefits of ATA Carnet use from a CFO perspective. The first and foremost benefit is the ATA Carnet’s capability as a unique international trade tool to reduce or eliminate “overseas deposits” and the costly wait for foreign duty recovery. 

Many companies continue to be in survival mode since spring of 2020.  Companies who temporarily import goods, merchandise, or equipment into foreign countries without the use of an ATA Carnet are tying up foreign currency cash deposits in foreign customs services. This is one of many costs without an ATA Carnet. 

On hand was Mike Host, Boomerang CFO for 20+ years, who affirmed the real cost savings features of the ATA Carnet and considered solutions to combat inflation and rising interest rates on cash flow.
