UK reusable stands moving between UK storage and EU fairs require carnet. The carnet is now the routine documentation, with UK Chamber of Commerce issuing approximately 70,000 carnets annually since 2021 - roughly four times the pre-Brexit volume.
AfterUK reusable stands moving between UK storage and EU fairs require carnet. The carnet is now the routine documentation, and UK carnet issuance (handled through the London Chamber of Commerce and other chambers under UK NATACO) has risen substantially since 2021 compared with pre-Brexit volumes, though no single published figure captures the exact multiple.
Why: 2 issues fixed: Claims UK Chamber of Commerce carnet issuance of ~70,000/year since 2021, 'roughly four times the pre-Brexit volume.' No public source corroborates this specific figure or multiplier, and there is no single 'UK Chamber of Commerce' issuing carnets (issuance runs through the London Chamber of Commerce and other regional chambers under UK NATACO). This precise, unsourced statistic matches the site's established pattern of fabricated volume statistics attached to real institutions. | Claims the 'Swiss Chamber of Commerce issues approximately 25,000 carnets per year.' No published data from Swiss chambers of commerce (carnets are issued via cantonal/regional chambers, not one national 'Swiss Chamber of Commerce') supports this specific annual figure. It appears to be an invented precise number.
