Get a UK Carnet
Boomerang carnets® UK sponsored the Association of British Orchestras (ABO) annual conference this year in Leeds, February 1-3. The ABO annual conference is a major event of the year drawing over 350 delegates from orchestras both within the U.K. and abroad. As both an ABO member and sponsor, Boomerang was honored to sponsor the lanyards worn by attendees.
A warm welcome and thanks to Judith Webster, newly appointed Chief Executive, and the talented team at ABO for a great conference and for all the support throughout our years of partnership.
Cultural exchange is essential to the life of any orchestra.

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 professional equipment, goods, or commercial samples moving in and out of countries. ATA Carnets make international orchestra tours affordable and secure.
Boomerang’s Tradition Supporting Orchestras.
In 2002, we worked with the League of American Orchestras (LOAO) to initiate the Carnets “Play the World” ATA Carnet program for orchestras and musicians touring internationally. The program minimizes the major financial obstacle individual musicians previously encountered when pursuing itineraries outside their orchestra’s schedule when on tour and still support the U.S. orchestras as they travel the world on tour.
In 2010, we began offering Grants to cover registration costs to the LOAO’s Midwinter Managers Meeting, as well as to the League’s National Conference. Thirty-seven grants have been awarded totaling over $20,000. A limited number of Carnets "Play the World" Grants are also awarded each year to a select group of Association of British Orchestras (ABO) members.
