We are pleased to announce a major milestone in the development of the Digital/eATA Carnet process. Until recently, our customers could only trial Digital Carnets when departing from Heathrow. However, we are excited to share that Edinburgh Airport is ready to process Digital Carnets as part of an ongoing pilot program! This expansion is a significant step in making business travel and temporary export even more seamless for our Carnet Holders. The UK Border Force is eager to see how Digital Carnets perform in real-world scenarios, and they are keen to process more test transactions. This is where you come in!

BCC’s Trade Confidence Outlook for Q2 2024 shows most SME exporters' overseas sales are flatlining. More than half of all SME exporters (52%) saw no change in overseas sales, and 21% reported a decrease. Just over a quarter of exporting SME firms (27%) saw their overseas sales rise in Q2. BCC’s SME export sale indicator has consistently underperformed compared to domestic sales indicators since the pandemic. The Trade Confidence Outlook, conducted by the BCC’s Insights Unit, is a survey of just under 2,000 UK SME exporters.
