Family-Owned and Operated

Boomerang carnets® UK's founding family has a international trade and transportation history dating back to the early 1900s. Curt E. H. Hamann, first generation entrepreneur, was an international freight forwarder, licensed customs broker and bond agent. He owned J.E. Bernard & Company (U.S. and U.K.) and founded Roanoke Agency. Roanoke Agency was the first ATA Carnet Service Provider in the U.S.

Mr. Hamann's son-in-law and successor, Bruce A. Wilson, established Corporation for International Business (now known as boomerang carnets®) with his son, Curt E.H. Wilson, in 1987.

Boomerang carnets® issues U.S. 7600 ATA Carnets annually with a total merchandise value of $3.25B. It is a privately-held U.S. company under the management of Curt E.H. Wilson, daughter, Moira D. H. Wilson and Michael L. Host.

Boomerang carnets® UK, in partnership with the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, began providing fully-automated ATA Carnets to U.K. exporters as of March 1, 2015. This expansion brings a more affordable and efficient carnet solution to the U.K. market.  This solution has been available to U.S. exporters for many years.
