Uk Trade

Welcome to UK trade info

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) are responsible for collecting the UK's international trade in goods data, which are published as two National Statistics series - the 'Overseas Trade Statistics (OTS) of the UK' and the 'UK Regional Trade Statistics (RTS)'. The OTS are published monthly, providing detailed data for over 9,000 commodities and 200 partner countries. The RTS are published quarterly showing trade at summary product and country level, split by UK regions.

Trade statistics are compiled to serve the needs of many users, including governments, the business community, compilers of economic statistics, various regional and international organisations, researchers and the public. They are used to identify new global trade opportunities, to measure market share, dentify growth areas, to forecast trade and to analyse economic patterns.

The OTS and RTS data sets and related products are published in the Data section of this site, as are HMRC indirect tax statistical bulletins. Guidance relating to the collection of trade data from the EU-wide Intrastat survey and Customs import and export entries can be found in the Intrastat and Codes & Guides sections. Release
