UK regional trade in goods statistics: Quarter 4 2022
Latest UK regional trade in goods statistics HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has released the UK's regional trade in goods statistics (RTS) for Quarter 4 2022. 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. A new method for EU business counts was introduced in the 2022 Quarter 1 (Q1) publication, resulted 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 data source changes and their impacts on RTS can be found in the main commentary document. Please also note that on 14 November 2022, HMRC announced corrections to the Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics (OTS). These corrections were applied to OTS on 12 December 2022 and have been applied to RTS figures in the 2022 Q4 release. You will be able to download a full commentary and supporting data sets. For more details, go to UK regional trade in goods statistics: fourth quarter 2022. The RTS Methodology document is available on GOV.UK.

Request Customs Declaration Service data on imports and exports
Request Customs Declaration Service data on imports and exports Find out how to request and buy Customs Declaration Service data from HMRC if you're a company that imports or exports goods. Guidance When a customs audit takes place, HMRC holds records of actual data entered and raises demand on duties for imports not recorded in the trader’s records but actually declared to customs. This can happen when an agent fails to make a correct declaration. It’s your responsibility to correctly declare goods and only negligible liability is placed on your agent. If you’re a larger trader with multi-site operations, you might find it difficult to keep records of imports or exports due to the number of different locations and agents. Customs Declaration Service data helps simplify and improve the accuracy of your records. For example, by giving accurate figures for the total amount of duty paid against value of goods entered. What information is in a report There are 4 reports available, covering: import item import header import tax lines export item These reports should meet the needs of most HMRC customers. The reports are sent to a named responsible person in your business. Not all data items on the Customs Declaration Service can be purchased in the reports. There is information on the system which cannot be released because it could compromise HMRC control activities. Descriptions of the data available can be found in Customs Declaration Service data import and export descriptions. Example of Customs Declaration Service reports You can use the following examples of import and export data (given in the entry item format) to help you decide if a Customs Declaration Service data subscription will benefit you. This is not real data. It should only be used for the purposes of these examples. Minimum sign up for monthly and one-off reports You can request both ongoing and one-off reports. If you request ongoing reports, you must sign up to receive them for a minimum of 12 months. For example, if you signed up in January 2022, you will receive ongoing reports from January 2022 to December 2022. Backdated requests cannot be accepted. After 12 months, you’ll be sent a renewal email notification and invoice for you to sign up for another 12 months. If you do not want to renew, email: uktradeinfo@hmrc.gov.uk You can request one-off retrospective reports, the earliest period that can be provided is from January 2020 onwards.

Pre-announcement of corrections to the Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics
Following routine quality assurance and checking procedures, we will be correcting the following Non-EU and EU trade figures: Non-EU 3 commodity codes for 2015 – 3 codes for non-EU import 4 commodity codes for 2016 – 4 codes for non-EU imports 3 commodity codes for 2017 – 3 codes for non-EU imports 3 commodity codes for 2018 – 3 codes for non-EU imports 1927 commodity codes for 2019 – 2 codes for non-EU imports, 1925 codes for non-EU exports EU 2 commodity code for 2015 – 2 code for EU imports 2 commodity codes for 2016 – 2 code for EU imports 3 commodity codes for 2017 – 3 codes for EU imports 8 commodity codes for 2018 – 8 codes for EU imports 3 commodity codes for 2019 – 3 codes for EU imports The corrections with the largest impacts are the 2019 non-EU exports whereby certain export Customs declarations, for goods under temporary admissions and being re-exported from customs warehouses, were erroneously included in the OTS. This affects UK export data covering March 2019 to December 2019.The corrections mainly affect UK exports to the USA, Switzerland, and Hong Kong of the following HS2 chapters: 97 - Works of art, collectors' pieces and antiques 71 - Natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, metals clad with precious metal, and articles thereof; imitation jewellery; coin 84 - Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof The correction revises the monthly non-EU trade figures downwards, by less than 5% in most months, with a maximum downward revision of approximately 7%. Scale of the revisions: the revisions to 2019 reduce the total non-EU export trade by less than 4% and a minimal increase EU import trade. All other amendments are negligible at total trade level.

Schedule A - Description of service and Data to be provided by HMRC
Schedule A - Description of service and Data to be provided by HMRC Guidance The Service 1.1 HMRC agrees to provide the Purchaser with CDS reports (“Reports”) of Data. 1.2 This information will be provided by the Customs Trader Report Team within the Borders & Trade (B&T) Directorate of HMRC. 1.3 Reports will only be provided to a nominated representative of the Purchaser whose details shall be provided at Schedule C of this Agreement. 1.4 If the Purchaser wishes to nominate a third party as a recipient of the Reports then it should supply, requested by email, a signed letter authorising the named third party as a designated recipient of the Reports. In requesting such a report the Purchaser warrants that the receiving third party is an agent, employee or legal representative of the Purchaser. 1.5 Reports will contain Data as submitted to and processed by CDS. Amendments to declarations made subsequent to finalisation on CDS are dealt with manually. As a result HMRC cannot guarantee that these amendments will be included in subsequent Reports. 1.6 Information is retained on CDS for six years after finalisation of the declaration processing. 1.7 Reports will not contain Data from cancelled or deleted entries 1.8 No information from CDS will be supplied in respect of export declarations submitted under Bulk Entry procedures. 1.9 If the Purchaser requires Reports on more than one separate EORI number (i.e. not part of a Group Registration) then these will be supplied as a set of Reports, individually containing information on the different specified EORI numbers. 1.10 Purchasers should note that the fact that no importations or exportations were made over a particular period would not be considered as sufficient grounds for any refund. Refunds of amounts already paid will only be considered in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the HMRC Customs Trader Report team manager. 1.11 HMRC may act to add or remove Data items from the Reports and should this occur further information and explanation will be supplied on GOV.UK. Dispatch of Data 2.1 Where Reports are required these will be distributed centrally from the Customs Trader Report Team within B&T Directorate. 2.2. The Customs Trader Report Team will dispatch Reports to the Purchaser and/or authorised third parties as follows For Reports comprising Data in connection with the Purchasers importing activity: within the calendar month For Reports comprising Data in relation to the Purchasers exporting activity: within the calendar month 2.3 The method of Reports delivery will be by email to the nominated representative. The normal format for electronic Data delivery will be a downloaded Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet unless the Purchaser requests that they receive their reports in an accessible format, in which case Comma Separated Variable (CSV) format will be used. All such Data will be protected by a password provided only to the Purchaser, prior to dispatch. 2.4 In agreeing this method of communication HMRC is not liable for the security of information once it has been transmitted via email on the Internet. 2.5 Data in ongoing monthly Reports will be sent (by email) in numerical order by EORI number; the team are unable to answer any queries relating to when the Data will be sent as this slows down the distribution process. Data Reports available 3.1 Any combination of these Reports are available for purchase. Please see GOV.UK for Data items available in the reports Invoicing and Payment 4.1 On completion of this Agreement the Purchaser will return it via the email address as specified in Schedule C. 4.2 On receipt of a completed Agreement, the HMRC Accounts Receivable Team will issue an invoice on instructions from the Customs Trader Report Team. Please note that payment must be made according to instructions on this invoice. In no circumstances should payment be sent to the Customs Trader Report Team. 4.3 The Purchaser will normally be invoiced at the time that the Reports are supplied with payment due within 30 days. However, HMRC reserve the right to require payment before the reports are supplied. 4.4 The Purchaser must tell HMRC the email address to which the invoice will be issued (this can be a group/team one), contact name, trader address (in the case of a third party then both) and telephone number of the individual who will receive the invoice from HMRC. 4.5 It is the Purchaser’s responsibility to keep its contact details up to date and to immediately advise HMRC via email of any changes.

UK regional trade in goods statistics: Quarter 1 2022
Latest UK regional trade in goods statistics HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has released the UK's regional trade in goods statistics for Quarter 1 2022. 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 will be introduced in the 2022 Quarter 1 (Q1) publication, which will result in a break in series from previous Regional Trade in Goods Statistics (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 its impacts on RTS can be found in the main commentary document. You can also download a full commentary and access supporting data sets. For more details, go to UK regional trade in goods statistics: first quarter 2022 In addition changes have been made to the Regional Trade in Goods Statistics methodology.
