Monthly data on the UK's trade in goods and services, including trade inside and outside the EU. This replaces our previous dataset, UK trade: goods and services (up until July 2018).

The United Kingdom recorded a trade deficit of 5260 GBP Million in July of 2025. This dataset provides - United Kingdom Balance of Trade - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

This dataset shows the UK import tariffs which will apply from 1 January 2021.

It lists preferential measures where the UK has entered into a new trade agreement or arrangement with a third country or territory. For other countries and territories, it shows the UK's Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariffs. The dataset does not include other import duties (such as VAT) and details of quota volumes.

Notes on use

For gudiance on the content of the data and how to interpret it, see the guidance in the Tariff Data Manual.

There are two tables available, which show the same underlying data in two formats:

Measures on declarable commodities

This is an expanded table showing the measures that apply to all declarable commodity codes. These are 10-digit codes, which are at the lowest level in the commodity code hierarchy (i.e. they do not have any commodity codes below them in the hierarchy) and are therefore at the most granular classification for that product. Any code in this table is usable on declarations at the rates specified.

Measures as defined

This is a smaller table showing where in the commodity code hierarchy each measure is defined. This includes commodity codes which are not declarable. Codes are organised in a hierarchy, with the 'indent' column identifying the depth of the code. Measures apply to all of the codes in the hierarchy below where they are defined.

Accuracy

Every effort has been made to ensure the tariff information in this dataset is correct. However, engagement with businesses has indicated that early access is required and we have prioritised making the data available now while we carry out further quality assurance checks. The tariffs in this dataset are a representation of future events and as such are subject to change.

Exports in the United Kingdom increased to 75997 GBP Million in March from 75570 GBP Million in February of 2025. This dataset provides - United Kingdom Exports - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

The government is committed to setting new standards for transparency so the public can more easily see how and where taxpayers’ money is being spent and hold politicians, government departments and public bodies to account. All central government departments must publish details of their spending over £25,000 and publish monthly information. From January 2016 both administration and programme spend are now collected under the same code so appear as a single spreadsheet.

This dataset has now been archived and will no longer be updated. For an up-to-date list of Most Favoured Nation (MFN) rates, see https://data.gov.uk/dataset/3bee9a8a-e69c-400e-add5-3345a87a8e25/tariffs-to-trade-with-the-uk-from-1-january-2021.

The UK Global Tariff (UKGT) is the UK's first independent tariff policy which will replace the current Common External Tariff (CET) which applies until 31 December 2020. This tariff will enter into force on 1 January 2021. The UKGT will apply to all goods imported into the UK, unless: an exception applies (such as a relief or tariff suspension); the goods come from countries that are part of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences; the goods come from a country that has a trade agreement with the UK. It only shows the tariffs that will be applied to goods at the border when they’re imported into the UK. It does not cover: other import duties (such as VAT); the precise details of trade remedies measures (such as anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguards). For more information, see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-tariffs-from-1-january-2021.

This dataset lists how the tariff will change in the UKGT compared to the CET, split out by commodity code as specified to 8 or 10 digits by the 2020 Combined Nomenclature (CN). It includes a description for each code based on that standard. For each code, it includes the current duty expression under the CET and the new duty expression under the UKGT, with an additional field categorising the change (as 'no change', 'currency conversion', 'simplified', 'reduced' or 'liberalised'). The dataset also indicates where commodities are subject to a trade remedy or suspension, or if the CET will continue to apply until after transition reviews have concluded, or include an Autonomous Tariff Quota. Please see the guidance page for information on these terms and how the duty will change in these cases.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Great Britain Historical Database has been assembled as part of the ongoing Great Britain Historical GIS Project. The project aims to trace the emergence of the north-south divide in Britain and to provide a synoptic view of the human geography of Britain at sub-county scales. Further information about the project is available on A Vision of Britain webpages, where users can browse the database's documentation system online. This study contains a systematic transcription of information on individual strikes in every fifth year, as recorded by the Board of Trade Labour Department, and later the Ministry of Labour, in their Strike Registers, now held in class LAB.34 in the UK National Archives. They were computerised by the Great Britain Historical GIS Project and its collaborators. They form part of the Great Britain Historical Database, which contains a wide range of geographically-located statistics, selected to trace the emergence of the north-south divide in Britain and to provide a synoptic view of the human geography of Britain, generally at sub-county scales.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The dataset was created as part of an ESRC-sponsored study, ‘British economic, social, and cultural interactions with Asia, 1760-1833’. It contains statistics relating to the trade and domestic finances of the monopolistic English East India Company primarily between 1755 and 1834, the year in which the Company ceased to function as a commercial organization. Until now quantitative data derived from original sources has only been available in time series for the Company’s trade and some aspects of its domestic finances for the years before 1760. But many of the details, patterns, and trends of trade and finance in the decades after 1760, a most important period when the Company fully embarked on the interlinked processes of military, political, and commercial expansion in Asia, have remained unclear. In creating this dataset, the aim was thus two-fold: i) to establish for the first time a set of statistics detailing the changing value, volume, and geographical structure of the East India Company’s overseas trade for the period when the Company began to exert imperial control over large parts of the Indian subcontinent; and ii) to generate select statistics relating to the Company’s domestic finances, thereby enabling analysis to be undertaken of a range of Company interactions with Britain’s economy and society.

The benchmark interest rate in the United Kingdom was last recorded at 4 percent. This dataset provides - United Kingdom Interest Rate - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

The dataset includes line-by-line information on Retained EU Law (REUL, now known as assimilated law), as reported to the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) by UK government departments. REUL was a type of domestic law, created by the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and which came into effect at the end of the UK’s post-Brexit transition period (which ended on 31 December 2020). The primary objective of REUL was to provide legal continuity and certainty at the end of the transition period. On 29 June 2023 the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill 2023 received Royal Assent, providing departments powers to either reform REUL or remove it from the UK statute book. Under the ‘REUL Act’, REUL which had not been revoked by 2023 then became “assimilated law”. UK government departments have worked to identify the REUL / assimilated law they own and take decisions on, and actions to address it. The dataset lists all REUL / assimilated law identified by UK government departments, which pieces they own, and a range of information including which policy area and sector of the economy it relates to, territorial application, whether it relates to an international obligation. It also outlines the current status of each piece e.g., whether it has been amended or repealed, the date of any action, and hyperlinks to any related legislation. The contents are updated every 6-months through a cross-Whitehall commissioning exercise. Departments are responsible for updating their own datasets, which are then quality assured and collated by DBT teams.
