Transport to ExCeL London exhibitions

How to arrange transport to ExCeL London: slots, bookings, post-Brexit customs, ATA carnet and the return of exhibits.

Transport to ExCeL London in the Docklands requires delivery aligned with venue slots and bookings, post-Brexit customs with a GMR and — when exhibits return unchanged — an ATA carnet. OPTIMUS TRANSPORT plans the delivery to the stand and the return in one process.

How we handle it

  • Build-up slot and booking per ExCeL rules.
  • GB import clearance and a GMR for the Dunkirk–Dover crossing.
  • ATA carnet for exhibits returning unchanged.
  • Delivery to the venue and collection from the stand after breakdown.
An ATA carnet is temporary admission without duty and VAT for goods returning in full, for example exhibition exhibits.
