The Boomerang Benefit for the Creative Screen Industries

Media Carnets Powered by Boomerang

Boomerang carnets® is the leading carnet provider for the U.S. and U.K. creative screen industries, the largest and fourth largest in the world, respectively.  International shoots can draw artists and equipment from multiple countries, simultaneously, for the same project.  Cameras from the U.K., and special effects equipment, or costumes from the U.S. headed to the same international destination for a shoot happens frequently.  With boomerang carnets located in both the U.S. and U.K., we have provided ATA Carnets to meet such demands. This convenience is the Boomerang Benefit, unique to boomerang carnets. 

The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document for temporarily exporting merchandise, goods, or professional equipment.  Use of a carnet allows cross border movement of goods import-duty and -tax free into any of the 87+ carnet countries and territories for up to a year.  Also known as the Merchandise Passport, ATA Carnets are used by many industries in many sectors.  The ATA Carnet makes clearing Customs easier, saving you valuable time.  Carnets also serve as the registration of goods with Customs upon re-entry to the U.S. or U.K. saving you additional paperwork and cost.  ATA Carnets are used for camera bodies, lenses, tripods, lighting equipment, drones, UAVs, monitors, hard drives, computers, batteries, sets, props, costumes, and more.
