Transport to UK fairs and the ATA carnet

How to arrange goods transport to fairs in the United Kingdom: slots, ATA carnet, post-Brexit customs and the return.

Transport to UK fairs combines carriage, post-Brexit customs and — when goods return unchanged — an ATA carnet. The key is planning delivery around venue slots (e.g. ExCeL London, NEC Birmingham) and preparing documents and the carnet ahead of time.

Keep in mind

  • Slots and bookings per venue rules.
  • ATA carnet for goods returning unchanged (no duty and VAT).
  • Customs and GMR for the Dunkirk–Dover crossing.
  • Post-show logistics: collection from the stand and return.
