THE UK PRODUCTION INDUSTRY- PACKED FOR ACTION

Boomerang carnets® UK, through its partner The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, provides ATA Carnets to the film and television production industry across the entire United Kingdom. Since the start of the year, new customers seeking ATA Carnet services have come from the North East, North West, South West, South East, East of England, Wales, and London. The Liverpool Chamber has become a magnet for international productions in need of ATA Carnets. ATA Carnets can be used in 90+ carnet countries and territories for up to a year. A carnet allows for the cross-border movement of gear, goods, equipment, and merchandise without the payment of import-duty and tax. By using an ATA Carnet as the temporary export method, international shoots can avoid payment of import duty and tax—savings that can be significant given the high value of cameras, lenses, equipment, and other necessary gear and goods. Producers, cinematographers, and news media crews rely on ATA Carnets for the savings. Beyond cost savings, ATA Carnets are also valued in the industry because they save time clearing equipment through customs.

Producers don’t like their crew being stuck in customs—deadlines are crucial and time is money. Customs typically wants import duty and tax paid in cash in the currency of the country being entered, and that is a major hassle. With an ATA Carnet, crews move through customs faster, keeping projects on track.

Boomerang carnets stands out as the only ATA Carnet provider operating in both the UK and U.S Having served this industry since 2015 in the UK and 1987 in the U.S., we are very familiar with the last-minute nature of the industry and can accommodate this need. Schedules are tight. We see this nearly every day—carnets are regularly issued to productions on short notice with 24/7 support, including weekends and holidays.

With operations in both the UK and U.S., boomerang carnets UK offers seamless carnet service, eliminating the need to work with multiple providers—saving productions both time and money.

In addition, our Boomerang Carnet Distribution Centers are located throughout the UK, indispensable for customers with last-minute travel plans.

The UK production industry is unstoppable and continues to rely on the convenience and cost-savings of the Liverpool Chamber and boomerang carnets UK.
