Call Boomerang Carnets, Your Carnet Specialists

The beauty and power of horses and cars will always bind them together as unrivaled sources of excitement.  Every year, contenders in the equestrian and motorsports sectors request our assistance with the temporary export of horses, race cars and the necessary equipment to compete in global events.  Across all sectors, customers leverage ATA Carnets to clear merchandise, goods, and equipment through foreign customs easier and save on import-duties and -taxes on temporary exports.  Boomerang carnets® delivers the powerful benefits of ATA Carnets across all regions of the United States and United Kingdom.

ATA Carnets have long been used for the temporary export of horses, but we have recently seen a significant surge in horse carnets.  Horses are temporarily exported for numerous reasons including international dressage, jumping, and cross-country competitions, as well as test/trials, sporting events, and riding excursions or holidays.  ATA Carnets are not only used for the horses but also for the expensive equipment needed for the sport.  We’ve even had a prominent politician’s wife use a carnet for her favorite horse headed to the EU.

Luxury car companies, Aston Martin, Gordon Murray, Honda, Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren, and Porsche, use ATA Carnets to clear customs, save money, expand into new markets, and grow their businesses.  Vehicles of all types are temporarily exported for races, rallies, expos, shows and parades all over the world.  One of our longstanding ATA Carnet customers, Dr. Ernest Nagamatsu, is a renowned vintage race car driver based in California and owner of Old Yeller II, a legendary racing car built in 1959.  Old Yeller II has raced in England at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival Meeting Races, Sussex Trophy Race, as well as motorsport competitions in New Zealand and Australia. 

At boomerang carnets, we understand the unique needs of our customers.  Whether you are an equestrian, race car driver or in any of the many sectors we provide ATA Carnets for—our goal is simple: to empower you to take full advantage of the many benefits of the ATA Carnet.  They make traveling with your temporarily exported goods, merchandise, and equipment as effortless as possible.
