TOGETHER POWERING GLOBAL TRADE

Since 2014, the forwardlooking partnership between boomerang carnets® UK and the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce (LCC) has strengthened the UK’s export capabilities by providing high-quality, top-rated ATA Carnet services. For over a decade, this one-of-a-kind collaboration has drawn businesses throughout the UK to the LCC and enabled them to expand and grow using the powerful trade tool known as the ATA Carnet.

The ATA Carnet, often called the “Merchandise Passport”, allows for the temporary import of goods without paying import duties or taxes. Accepted in over 90 countries and territories, it is a powerful tool for simplifying temporary cross-border trade. With the Chamber’s support and boomerang carnets’ seamless online application, businesses anywhere in the UK can easily access carnet services safely and securely—often with 24-hour turnaround. Liverpool Chamber repositioned its priorities in 2017 and began focusing its efforts on supporting international trade, documentation, and membership services. This focus on facilitating international trade, including ATA Carnet issuance and export documentation, strengthened the Chamber’s ability to assist UK enterprises to expand globally and grow locally.

From 2018 to 2025, the Chamber issued over 20,000 ATA Carnets, reflecting a 200% increase in carnet services and showcasing an impressive average monthly growth of 33%. This surge illustrates the rising demand for temporary export solutions and Liverpool Chamber’s crucial role in supporting economic expansion.

ATA Carnets are used across a wide range of sectors—film and TV production, technology, motorsports, fashion, live events, orchestral tours, scientific research, and more. Whether it’s moving cameras for a documentary, robotics for a demonstration, or samples for a trade show, ATA Carnets simplify international customs clearance of goods while saving money.

Post-Brexit, boomerang carnets UK helped mitigate challenges by providing expertise and a crucial carnet distribution infrastructure, ensuring continued movement of goods between the UK and EU. Together with the Liverpool Chamber, this partnership is building a stronger, more expansive economy, contributing to Liverpool’s growing reputation as a major hub for global trade.
