Call Boomerang Carnets, Your Carnet Specialists

With recent tariff increases, businesses are seeking strategies to manage cross-border trade and minimize additional costs.  One effective solution is the ATA Carnet, which allows for the temporary admission of goods or merchandise into foreign countries without paying duties or taxes.  For companies transporting professional equipment, commercial samples, or goods for display internationally, ATA Carnets help alleviate the financial impact of new tariffs while ensuring smooth global operations. 

The Value of ATA Carnets in Today’s Trade Environment

The ATA Carnet plays a vital role in facilitating international trade, reducing barriers for businesses across 90+ countries and territories.  Also known as the Merchandise Passport, the ATA Carnet has long been an essential trade tool for businesses, organizations, and individuals for managing temporary imports.  In today’s evolving tariff landscape, ATA Carnets remain a reliable solution, by offering key advantages for temporary imports:

1. Significant Cost Savings: Businesses can temporarily import goods without paying duties or taxes, leading to substantial financial benefits.
2. Simplified Customs Procedures: The ATA Carnet streamlines customs procedures, reducing paperwork and accelerating border clearance.
3. Expanded Trade Opportunities: ATA Carnets help companies expand their global reach by facilitating access to global markets and participation in trade shows, exhibitions, and other commercial activities.
4. Enhanced Support for SMEs: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) benefit from lower costs and simplified processes, enabling them to compete more effectively and equally on a global scale.

The ATA Carnet covers many types of goods and merchandise, including scientific instruments, construction equipment, high-fashion apparel, film and television cameras, racing cars, jewelry, horses, and more. 
 

ATA Carnets for Equestrian Transport

New tariff regulations are especially concerning and creating challenges for the equestrian industry, complicating the temporary transport of horses across borders.  The ATA Carnet provides a practical, cost-effective solution by allowing duty and tax-free temporary imports for up to one year with unlimited border crossings.  Unlike other temporary import options, an ATA Carnet simplifies customs clearance and logistics for the movement of horses internationally.
