ACCESS TO ATA CARNETS EXPLODES WITH INNOVATION

Boomerang carnets® UK revolutionised ATA Carnet accessibility in the United Kingdom a decade ago with our remote print technology.

With our partners, the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce (LCC), we transformed the delivery of ATA Carnets with our network of Boomerang Carnet Distribution Centers (BCDC) strategically located throughout the UK. This innovative approach, introduced even before Brexit, catapulted the Liverpool Chamber from 20-30 carnets issued annually to over 4,500. An impossible leap without our disruptive, top-rated customer service and BCDC network.

Since 2015, we have been developing efficient options for carnet distribution, ensuring that businesses can quickly and affordably obtain ATA Carnets. Our network of Boomerang Carnet Distribution Centers throughout the UK includes locations in Bristol, Liverpool, London, Feltham, Southall, Thatcham, and at Heathrow, Gatwick and the Eurotunnel. Of further note, the BCDC network provides access to ATA Carnets in the U.S. as well. These unique international trade tools played a critical role in supporting economic recovery and seamless continuity for businesses, especially post-COVID-19 and Brexit. At the same time, the centers provided customers with convenient, rapid access to carnets, making the process smoother and more cost-effective.

The ATA Carnet is a flexible international customs document for boomerang freight® allowing commercial samples, goods for trade fairs/exhibitions, and professional equipment to be temporarily imported duty- and tax-free into any of the 87+ carnet countries and territories for up to a year. It is an essential tool to assist business expansion into international markets. In addition to the significant savings they provide, ATA Carnets are a gateway to new markets.

Our Distribution Centers have become indispensable, particularly for customers with complex, last-minute travel plans. Backed by our world-class customer service, we offer 24/7 support from responsive, knowledgeable, and personable Carnet Specialists, ensuring a top-rated experience beginning with the innovative and secure application process to the carnet’s closure. Trustpilot reviews consistently highlight our commitment to providing immediate, human support without automated systems.

In addition to our same-day and overnight delivery services, we offer overnight courier shipping across the UK. Boomerang carnets UK is dedicated to supporting our customers at every step, helping them grow and expand into new markets for a more prosperous future.

PAKISTAN: UNLOCK NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN A THRIVING MARKET FOR QUALITY AND INNOVATION

Liverpool Chamber recently met with the Trade Development Team from the Consulate General of Pakistan, based in Manchester, to explore trade opportunities in this emerging market.

Pakistan presents a compelling mix of rich cultural heritage, a youthful and skilled workforce, and a strategic location. Its growing manufacturing and service sectors are well-positioned to meet global demands, offering competitive costs alongside government incentives— making it a market worth considering if you haven’t yet.

The Trade and Investment Wing of the Pakistan Consulate in Manchester provides support to businesses interested in trade, commercial ventures, investment, cultural or educational exchanges, and tourism.

One upcoming highlight is TEXPO 2024, Pakistan’s premier Textile, Footwear, and Leather exhibition, set to take place in Karachi from October 23-25, 2024. With over 300 companies and 500+ international delegates already registered, this event offers an excellent opportunity to witness how Pakistan’s textile industry is advancing sustainability and eco-friendly practices. For qualifying buyers, importers, and purchasing houses, the Government of Pakistan is offering an exclusive hospitality package.
