U.K.’s Building & Construction Industry Global Expansion


The Department for International Trade cites the UK as a world-leading provider of construction goods and services working in partnership with private and public sector clients across the globe.

The demand from global markets includes aligned businesses such as architectural firms, green environmental services, energy consultants, fabricators of quality windows and doors, flooring experts, HVAC services, security, interior space designers, and surveying. Additionally, real estate management, IT solutions, and freight forwarders/logistics experts are vital sub-sectors for construction and building businesses.

The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Boomerang Carnets® UK, provides ATA Carnets, a flexible international trade tool used to expand businesses and services into foreign markets.

The ATA Carnet, known as the Merchandise Passport, is an internationally accepted customs document for temporarily exported merchandise, goods, or equipment.

Use of an ATA Carnet allows cross-border movement of goods import-duty and -tax free in and out of 87+ carnet countries and territories for up to a year.

UK Construction and Builders Are Leading the Way

UK goods and services are in demand worldwide. ATA Carnets can be used to temporarily move equipment and gear across international borders for a contracted job, exhibit at an international trade show, or demo a prototype or product to interested prospects. You will save on payment of import duty and tax for equipment and materials needed for in-person international bid presentations. At the end of the 12-month validity period, all the items listed on the carnet return to the country of origin.

The savings are so significant that companies of any size can participate as equal contenders in the global market. Whether you’re an SME or large corporation, grow your construction and building business around the world. ATA Carnets make your pound go further and are a gateway into new markets.

Expand globally and grow your company or enterprise with the use of an ATA Carnet. Visit www.boomerangcarnets.co.uk to learn more.
