Call Boomerang Carnets, Your Carnet Specialists

Boomerang carnets® is honored this year to present our webinar, The “Ins and Outs” of ATA Carnets, on March 11th hosted by the Montana World Trade Center.  In addition, they will host Montana World Trade & Investment Day on May 12th in Butte.  This important event brings together exporters, importers, investors, policymakers, and service providers to explore global market opportunities, supply chains, foreign direct investment, and the real-world challenges Montana firms face doing business internationally. 

The ATA Carnet

The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document for temporarily exported merchandise, goods, or equipment and allows cross border movement of those goods import-duty and -tax free into over 90 carnet countries and territories for up to a year.  They are easy to apply for, will save you money, and enable you to expand your business globally. 

ATA Carnets are a Gateway to New Markets

The ATA Carnet saves time clearing goods through customs, money, and levels the playing field so that Individuals, Small and Medium Size Enterprises, and Corporations can all take advantage of international opportunities affordably.  With over 30 years of experience in Customs and international trade, Anthony Cambas, an authority in the field, recently honored with the Mississippi SBDC 2025 State Star Recognition, emphasizes the transformative power of ATA Carnets: 

"Even though the savings ATA Carnets provide can be tremendous, especially if you are traveling with millions of dollars or pounds worth of equipment, it is important to remember that the ATA Carnet is a gateway to new markets that can significantly grow your business in the most affordable way."

 

Montana Saves and Grows

International trade and investment are vital to Montana’s economy.  Montanans are selling their products and services around the world, importing, exporting, and receiving investment from global markets.  A simple temporary export solution like the ATA Carnet can save companies money, time, and the risk of fines or lost equipment.
