Exporting

Innovative Delivery and The Boomerang Experience

Boomerang carnets® UK has been developing convenient and affordable options for carnet distribution since 2015 so that businesses can receive ATA Carnets quickly and efficiently. We’ve initiated those options with a network of Boomerang Carnet Distribution Centers across Great Britain. Fueling economic recovery is one of our prime passions as an ATA Carnet service provider and it is our priority that customers have carnets in-hand easier, quicker, and more affordably as we recover and rebuild from the pandemic.

The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document used for boomerang freight®. By presenting an ATA Carnet to foreign customs, your temporarily exported merchandise or equipment passes import-duty and is tax free into any of the 87+ carnet countries and territories for up to one year. At the end of the year, all the items listed on the carnet return to the country of origin, thus the term boomerang freight. Companies often use ATA Carnets to initiate expansion into international markets.

Exporters have faced logistics challenges as we recover from both the pandemic and Brexit, and Distribution Centers have been a lifesaver to those with last minute travel plan and moving parts. Our Distribution Centers are supported by our unique customer service experience. Trustpilot reviews consistently commend us on being knowledgeable, responsive, and personable: “You will be able to get someone on the phone right away. There is no automated system to go through first.” We offer customers the irreplaceable human touch from Carnet Specialists available 24/7/365. Boomerang carnets® UK, through its partnership the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, can provide affordable sameday and overnight carnet delivery service in Bristol, Liverpool, London, at Heathrow, Gatwick, and the Eurotunnel. As is typical, carnets can also be shipped by overnight courier to anywhere in the UK. We know that servicing an ATA Carnet client means customers rely on us for specialist service and support, not only during the application process but, throughout the lifecycle of the ATA Carnet. We advocate for all of our customers to grow and expand into new markets for a more prosperous future.

UK Export Academy lands in Liverpool

The UK Export Academy, from the Department for International Trade (DIT), gives small and micro-businesses the know-how to sell to customers around the world with confidence.

It’s applicable to a wide range of businesses – you could be selling children’s clothes to Spain online, or providing PR services to a new client in the US. Whether you want to start exporting, or you’re aiming to enter new markets, we’ll help you overcome many of the common challenges that small businesses can face.

The programme is designed for owners and senior managers of businesses looking to grow internationally and located in the UK.

Due to the pandemic, the UK Export Academy will temporarily be delivered online or as a hybrid programme of events, this will be advised prior to the various sessions. We are pleased to work in Liverpool with our colleagues from the Department of International Trade on the 8th February at our address in the Cotton Exchange Building, Bixteth St for a full day session. You will leave the course with a completed export action plan to take your business to international customers.
