HMRC is responsible for the collection and publication of data on imports and exports of goods to and from the UK. HMRC releases this information monthly, as a National Statistic called the Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics (OTS), which is available via their dedicated website: www.uktradeinfo.com<\/a>. From this website, it is possible to build data tables based upon bespoke search criteria: https://www.uktradeinfo.com/trade-data/ots-custom-table/<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The Tariff Classification of inhalers differs dependent upon whether medication is dispensed from them and, if so, what type of medicine. Consequently, published statistics applicable to empty inhalers, and medicinal inhalers at an aggregated level, within Harmonised System code 3004, have been provided.<\/p> <\/p> The total value of UK inhaler exports to the rest of the world can be found in the table below:<\/p>
