In 2015, on Leadenhall Street in London, Curt established boomerang carnets UK in partnership with the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce to provide ATA Carnets to U.K. exporters. His vast expertise automating and issuing ATA Carnets in the U.S. was introduced to the U.K. market with a vision to improve the U.K. exporters’ experience. Curt’s leadership has increased Liverpool’s annual carnet issuance to 4,450, a significant increase from the previous average of 30-40.
As a result of Curt’s negotiations, boomerang carnets was appointed by the Federation Internationale de L'Automobile in 2015 to be the issuing association for the Carnet de Passages en Douane in the U.S. and Canada. Our first applications were processed as of March 1st, 2016. Boomerang carnets is the first and only non-automobile association and private company to be awarded this appointment. Boomerang carnets succeeds the Canadian Automobile Association as the issuing association for the U.S. and Canada. With the addition of the CPD network of countries, boomerang carnets facilitates the import-duty and -tax free movement of commercial merchandise and personal-use vehicles around the world.
