If you are a trader, haulier, or carrier moving goods through Goods Vehicle Movement Service port locations that use Goods Movement Reference (GMR) documents, it is important to know that as of 23 March 2023, your ATA Carnet, Transport Internationaux Routiers (TIR) carnet, or paper Single Administrative Document (SAD) must be included in your GMR prior to your goods arrival at the port. If you do not include them, your movement could be delayed. When you use boomerang carnets UK® through its partner, The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, to obtain an ATA Carnet, you can ask a Carnet Specialist for assistance and/or request a GMR.
The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document for temporarily exported merchandise, goods, or equipment (boomerang freight) that allows for the cross-border movement of goods import-duty and -tax free in and out of 87+ carnet countries and territories for up to a year.
Also known as the Merchandise Passport, the ATA Carnet is a unique international trade tool for accessing foreign markets easily and affordably.
