Build an overseas trade data table

Create custom overseas trade data tables by toggling between the filters. The tool includes both the Standard International Trade Classification system (SITC) and the Harmonised System (HS) on the same table as SITC directly correlates to HS. For more help, use our step-by-step guide.

Note: Eraser icons at the top of each filter can be selected to clear them. Orange diamond symbols in the table indicate confidential data withheld by HM Revenue and Customs.

Calculating value totals in your downloads

When calculating value totals at Harmonised System (HS) 2 level in your Comma Separated Values (CSV) download, use these commands in the 'J' column:

• ‘INCLUDE’
• ‘EXCLUDE’

All lines labelled ‘EXCLUDE’ should be removed when calculating HS2 value totals. For more information please see Help with creating custom data tables.

Port filter

In 2021, HMRC introduced a new port code: 'Dover / Eurotunnel'. This was so that traders could submit Customs Declarations before deciding on transport mode.

As a result, to calculate trade totals for Dover, select both of these ports from the filter:

• ‘Dover’
• ‘Dover/Eurotunnel’

A complete list of freight location codes are available from GOV.UK.
