Methodology changes to Trade in Goods Statistics from March 2021
Methodology changes to Trade in Goods Statistics from March 2021 This note informs users of the way that GB to EU export statistics will be compiled for January 2021 data onwards and effects to the bulk dataset files that are published on UK Trade Info. Guidance Introduction HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Trade in Goods Statistics (TIGS) are a detailed dataset covering the UK's trade in goods at a disaggregated country and product level. They are published monthly, quarterly and annually from trade declarations, providing access to both aggregated and detailed data for over 9,500 commodities and 250 partner countries. From 31 December 2020, the free movement of people and goods and services between the UK and the EU ended. This means the way HMRC collects trade in goods statistics has changed, and statistics published from March 2021 onwards will reflect those changes. UK to EU exports Up to 31 December 2020, UK to EU export statistics were collected via the Intrastat statistical survey, which required traders to declare the value and volume of commodities exported to EU Member States within the relevant month of physical goods movement. For goods moving from 1 January 2021, GB to EU export statistics will be compiled direct from customs export declarations made according to the requirements of the Taxation (Cross Border Trade) Act. The customs declaration requirements are more complex than the single monthly aggregated Intrastat return, and can result in differences between dates of declaration and actual movement of the goods out of the country. The TIGS compilation methodology relies upon the acceptance date of the customs export declaration for its inclusion within the relevant month of account, rather than the declared physical movement date used from the Intrastat survey. Intrastat survey returns will, however, continue to be collected for goods exported from Northern Ireland to the EU, under the terms of the Northern Ireland Protocol. Both the GB to EU customs export declaration data and NI Intrastat export (dispatch) data will be incorporated into the overall UK to EU export dataset. As a result of the changes and differences outlined above, there will be a break in the timeseries for published UK to EU export statistics from January 2021. These will not be directly comparable to UK to EU export statistics published for previous months and years. UK imports from EU UK imports from EU statistics will not be impacted by any change in 2021. The Intrastat survey continues to operate for all UK (GB and NI) imports (arrivals) from the EU, to mitigate the effects of staging customs controls, and to comply with the Northern Ireland Protocol. Bulk datasets: Trade Data Downloads HMRC currently publishes a number of large text files containing all UK TIGS data by month of account. The purpose is to allow expert users to build their own trade statistics databases for analysis purposes. Data is currently available from January 2009 to December 2020. The changes described above will impact the publication of bulk download files as follows: The non-EU exports data file will include the export of goods from GB to the EU. The EU dispatches data file and the associated EU dispatches non-response file will no longer be published, due to confidentiality concerns arising from changes to the collection of GB to EU export movements. The EU arrivals file will no longer include data in the “No. of Consignments” field, as its completion is optional and the data is of insufficient quality. Users requiring all UK import and export data should use the interactive trade database on www.uktradeinfo.com, or the new API tool which provides bulk data access. For additional information on methodology changes please contact: uktradeinfo@hmrc.gov.uk

UK regional trade in goods statistics: second quarter 2023
UK regional trade in goods statistics: second quarter 2023 Find data on the UK's international trade in goods at summary and product level, by UK regions and devolved administrations. National Statistics From January 2022, HMRC implemented a change in data collection methods affecting trade in goods data on imports from the EU into Great Britain. This creates a break in the time series, users should take care when making comparisons with quarters and years prior to 2022. Furthermore, a new method for EU business counts was introduced in the 2022 Q1 publication, which results in a break in series from previous RTS EU business counts. EU and total business counts from the 2021 data period onwards will therefore not be comparable with RTS business counts published prior to 2021. More information on recent data source changes and it’s impacts on RTS can be found in the explanatory notes of the latest RTS commentary document. Summary of trade trends In the 12 months ending June 2023, compared with the previous 12 months: all UK countries experienced an increase in the value of exports all UK countries experienced an increase in the value of imports export values increased for all English regions import values increased for all English regions, except for Yorkshire and The Humber which decreased UK total goods trade by UK country UK total goods trade by UK country: year to June 2023, compared with the previous 12 months Exports (£ billion) Change in year (%) Imports (£ billion) Change in year (%) UK 379.8 12.2 627.8 12.2 England 273.1 12.4 469.8 9.7 Wales 20.4 11.1 23.5 13.9 Scotland 36.7 12.6 35.1 12.2 Northern Ireland 10.3 19.6 9.9 10.5 Note: UK figures includes trade that cannot be allocated to a region.

Learn more about suppressed data. Back to contents Change the default table view After you select a dataset, you will see a table. It will group all UK trade data for the latest year available automatically. This will be for all commodities and countries. Here is how you can view more specific data. Add or change rows You can add or change the table rows to change the order in which the data gets presented. Using the dropdown menu below ‘Rows’, select the first row you want to display in the table. You can choose from the following types of table rows: commodities, organised by: HS or CN commodity code SITC code country, organised by geographical region (shown as ‘continent’) UK ports You can add more rows to the table using the ‘Add another dimension’ dropdown menu. You can add up to three different types of rows. You cannot add rows in the same table for ‘Commodities (by commodity code)’ as well as ‘Commodities (by SITC)’. This is because they each refer to different systems for classifying goods. Change column headings Select Change column headings to show the options for table columns. Use the checkboxes to select the table columns you want to add. To change the width of columns in the table (some browsers may not support this feature): Hover your cursor between the column headings until a double-headed arrow appears Select and drag the column to change its width Trade direction Select the Trade direction checkbox if you want to view a breakdown of the trade data by imports or exports. This checkbox is selected by default. Volume The Value GBP (£) checkbox gets selected by default. This is to show the reported trade value in pounds sterling (£) in your table.

Or to save a copy of your table to your device, select the Download this table in CSV format button. The CSV file will contain the full commodity data in the table. Be aware of this if you are viewing higher-level data in the table shown onscreen. You can download up to 30,000 rows of data using this option. Back to contents Summing up rows in a CSV download To calculate HS4, HS6, or CN8 totals, rows can be summed up as normal. When calculating value totals at HS2 level, use these commands in the 'J' column to identify if the row should be included in the aggregation: 'INCLUDE' 'EXCLUDE' With Excel, use the SUMIF formula. This is a range of INCLUDE/EXCLUDE values to compare against, INCLUDE, range of ‘values’ to aggregate. An example is SUMIF(I2:I155, INCLUDE, J2:J155). You can also ‘filter’ the data to include and exclude as necessary. The logic is that an INCLUDE FLAG will display when one of the following conditions is met: the row relates to a suppressed commodity the CN8 row does not include a suppression Details for suppressed products get released under an aggregated commodity. This is to protect confidentiality. How to copy table data You can also copy table data to paste into a spreadsheet by following these steps. Right-select a row or column heading in the table. In the menu that appears, select Copy, then Copy selection. Or, you can save a table by bookmarking the page, or selecting the Share or link to this table button.

Intrastat declaration requirements for 2021
Intrastat 2021 Frequently Asked Questions What are the requirements for Intrastat declarations from 1 January 2021? If you are currently a registered Intrastat business or in the coming year you exceed the Intrastat exemption threshold, which is £1,500,000 for EU imports (arrivals) and/or £250,000 for EU exports (dispatches), then you must submit Intrastat declarations in 2021 for the following movement of goods: Goods imported into Great Britain (GB) from the European Union (EU) Goods imported into Northern Ireland (NI) from the EU Goods exported from NI to the EU You do not have to submit Intrastat declarations for goods exported from GB to the EU. For how long will Intrastat declarations still be required? HMRC will still require businesses to provide Intrastat declarations for: Goods imported into GB from the EU for the whole of 2021 Goods imported into NI from the EU and goods exported from NI to the EU for the lifetime of the Northern Ireland Protocol. This will be a minimum of 4 years. What will the Intrastat exemption thresholds be for arrivals and dispatches in 2021? There will be no change to either the Intrastat arrivals or dispatches exemption thresholds for 2021 for either GB or NI movement of goods. You should submit Intrastat declarations, if the value of your trade with the EU exceeds: £1,500,000 for arrivals (EU to GB and EU to NI imports) £250,000 for dispatches (NI to EU exports) I do not currently trade above the Intrastat arrivals or dispatches exemption thresholds. If my trade values increase above these thresholds in 2021 will I have to submit Intrastat declarations? Yes. You should continue to monitor the value of your trade with the EU throughout 2021. If the value exceeds the thresholds, referred to in the answer to question 3, you should submit Intrastat declarations according to the specific requirements for GB and NI. I intend to submit customs declarations from 1 January 2021 for the goods I import into GB from the EU, why do I also need to continue to submit Intrastat arrival declarations? From 1 January 2021, HMRC expected that information sourced direct from customs declarations would be used to compile trade statistics for international trade in goods between GB and the EU. However, to give businesses more time to fully prepare for the new border controls for EU goods, customs import controls will be introduced in stages from 1 January 2021. As part of these staged controls, businesses importing non-controlled goods from the EU to GB can delay the submission of the customs declaration for up to 6 months. For statistical purposes this means the data from customs declarations will be unavailable or significantly delayed and would leave the UK with significant gaps in the data available to compile accurate and timely trade in goods statistics for imports. To avoid this, monthly Intrastat arrivals declarations will continue to be required during 2021. We recognise that some importers may decide not to use the staged controls facilitation and may consider submitting Intrastat arrivals declarations to be an additional burden. However, the necessary detail, quality and consistency of the resulting statistical data can only be achieved from using one data source, rather than a mixture of both Intrastat and customs declarations. This is vital as ‘Trade in Goods Statistics’ are essential to the Government’s ability to monitor the UK economy and trade performance and for the continued use by all users of the international trade publications. Will Intrastat declarations be required for GB exports to the EU? No, you must not provide an Intrastat declaration for any exports of goods from GB to the EU on or after 1 January 2021. HMRC will collect all GB export trade statistics directly from export customs declarations as the single source. I am a distance seller and not resident in the UK, do I still have to comply with the Intrastat requirements in 2021? Yes. These requirements will continue to apply to all UK VAT registered businesses regardless of whether they are resident in the UK or not. Why are Intrastat declarations still required for the movement of goods between NI and the EU? The Northern Ireland Protocol will come into force on 1 January 2021. The Protocol is a practical solution to avoid a hard border with the Republic of Ireland at the end of the Transition Period. This means that there will be special provisions which apply only to NI trade. Under the Protocol, HMRC is legally required to collect international trade statistics for goods exported from and imported to NI. As customs declarations will not be required for NI trade with the EU, Intrastat will continue to operate for these movement of goods. This means UK VAT registered businesses exporting goods from NI to EU Member States or importing goods into NI from EU Member States, with trade above the existing Intrastat arrivals or dispatches exemption thresholds, will be required to submit Intrastat declarations. What if I move goods between NI and the EU but I am a GB based VAT registered business? You will be required to complete Intrastat declarations. This is due to the Northern Ireland Protocol and relates to the movement of goods into and out of Northern Ireland, where your business is located does not matter. See question 8 for more information on the Northern Ireland Protocol. Do I need to complete Intrastat declarations for movement of goods between Great Britain (GB) and Northern Ireland (NI)? No. There are no Intrastat requirements for the movement of goods solely between GB and NI. If I import goods from the EU to sites in GB and NI will I need to submit two Intrastat Arrivals declarations? No. Traders can declare goods which have been imported from the EU to GB and to NI on the same Intrastat arrivals declaration. Will there be any changes to the way I should complete the Intrastat declaration? There will be no changes to the Intrastat declarations themselves or to the way traders should complete them in 2021. Traders should continue using their UK VAT number to identify themselves. What will be the Intrastat declaration requirements in 2022? For NI imports from EU and NI exports to the EU, Intrastat will continue to be required for the lifetime of the Northern Ireland Protocol, which will be at least 4 years. There will be no Intrastat requirement for the movement of goods exported from GB to the EU or goods imported from EU to GB, from 1 January 2022. Where can I find more information about Intrastat requirements? Notice 60 provides further details about Intrastat requirements. Where can I find help with other questions about importing and exporting? There are many ways to get in touch with HMRC about general import and export enquiries.

Intrastat data fields
Intrastat data fields An explanation of the data fields on the Northern Ireland Intrastat declaration. Guidance Period Northern Ireland Intrastat statistics are collected and published on a monthly basis so it is important you report the data in the correct period. The month and year should be entered in mm/yy format. For example: 11/23 for data appropriate to November 2023. Remember that if you have no data to declare in a particular month, sending in a ‘nil’ return will prevent unnecessary contact from HMRC. Commodity Code This is an eight-digit number that identifies the goods which are the subject of a dispatch or arrival. The commodity code is the basis for most of the statistical information used by government departments, international bodies such as the European Bank and United Nations agencies and businesses themselves. It is therefore vital that this data field is correctly completed. Commodity codes are internationally recognised numeric codes with each pair of numbers having a specific function. The first six digits form what is known as the Harmonised System. Of those six digits: the first two digits indicate the chapter in which the goods are defined (there are 96 regular chapters - Chapters 1 to 97 with Chapter 77 reserved for potential future use) the next two indicate the heading within the chapter the final two indicate the sub-heading of the chapter The seventh and eighth digits define the goods further for Northern Ireland and EU purposes. For example, safety headgear made of plastic has a commodity code of 6506 10 10, which is made up as follows: headgear comes under chapter 65 safety headgear does not have a specific heading in chapter 65 and is defined under ‘other headgear’ as 6506 within ‘other headgear’, the specific sub-heading for safety headgear is further defined under 6506 10 plastic safety headgear is defined as 6506 10 10 The last two digits are used to differentiate plastic safety headgear from safety headgear made of other materials (6506 10 80). Value Value is always reported in sterling in Northern Ireland and should be declared in whole pounds, rounded up, without a ‘£’ sign. If you are having difficulty in establishing a value, for instance, if you are processing goods on behalf of a company in an EU Member State and they do not give you a value for the unprocessed material, you are recommended to use a qualified estimation. Nature of Transaction (NoTC) Information on the type of transaction is collected because, whilst the vast majority of trade are either simple sales or purchases (NoTC 10), some transactions are recorded in a different way for statistical purposes. For instance, goods sent for process (NoTC 40) where the value of a process can be established by comparing the value of the goods before or after process (NoTC 50 identifies goods returned after they havre been processed). Net Mass The net mass (weight) of goods is collected in kilograms because it is a standard, worldwide measure. Net mass is collected for most goods because it refers to the physical characteristics of goods and is free from valuation problems and very often the weight is a more reliable indicator of the levels of trade in goods. Supplementary Units A number of commodity codes require the declaration of a supplementary unit, for example, the number of pieces , litres or cubic metres. Generally, a supplementary unit is required when it is a more appropriate measure of particular goods than net mass, such as pairs of shoes, and allows a greater degree of comparison and analysis. If you are asked to provide a supplementary unit , you do not have to supply a net mass figure. Goods from / to The information in this data field should be the country code of the EU Member States from which the goods were sent to you, or to which they are destined. Intermediate EU Member States through which the goods may have travelled merely for transport purposes should be ignored. Delivery terms Delivery terms indicate what part of the costs and risks the buyer or seller of goods has agreed to as part of the contract of purchase or sale. Invoice values will normally be expressed using one of the delivery terms (sometimes referred to as incoterms) listed in Notice 60. Delivery terms form part of the way in which we calculate the statistical value of goods. Unless your trade exceeds an annually set threshold (See Notice 60) provision of this data is optional. Trader Reference Although providing this information is optional, by including a reference number or code for each transaction reported you can make it considerably easier to locate any documentation if HMRC needs to speak to you about it. Data requirements for Dispatches only Partner ID This is the VAT Number of your EU Customer prefixed by the two-digit alpha code of where your customer belongs, for example FR12345678901. Country of Origin Country of origin will be the two-digit alpha code for the country where the goods are deemed to originate from that you have now subsequently dispatched onwards from Northern Ireland. Contact If you have any questions about the data fields on the SD, please email them to uktradeinfo@hmrc.gov.uk putting ‘SD data fields’ in the subject box.

UK regional trade in goods statistics: third quarter 2023
UK regional trade in goods statistics: third quarter 2023 Find data on the UK's international trade in goods at summary and product level, by UK regions and devolved administrations. National Statistics From January 2022, HMRC implemented a change in data collection methods affecting trade in goods data on imports from the EU into Great Britain. This creates a break in the time series, users should take care when making comparisons with quarters and years prior to 2022. Furthermore, a new method for EU business counts was introduced in the first quarter 2022 publication, which results in a break in series from previous RTS EU business counts. EU and total business counts from the 2021 data period onwards will therefore not be comparable with RTS business counts published prior to 2021. More information on recent data source changes and it’s impacts on RTS can be found in the commentary linked below.
