<p>HM Revenue & Customs (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 (<a href="http://www.uktradeinfo.com/"
target="_blank">www.uktradeinfo.com</a>). From this website, it is possible to <a
href="https://www.uktradeinfo.com/trade-data/ots-custom-table/" target="_blank">build
your own data tables</a> based upon bespoke search criteria.</p><p> </p><p>Classification
codes (according to the Harmonised System) are available to assist you in accessing
published trade statistics data in the <a href="https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/find_commodity"
target="_blank">UK Global Tariff.</a> Goods moving to and from the UK are identified
by an eight-digit commodity code. These are publicly available from the UK Trade Tariff
at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>The data on the import for these items, including country of export can be
obtained from <a href="http://www.uktradeinfo.com/" target="_blank">www.uktradeinfo.com</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>If you need help or support in constructing a table from the data on uktradeinfo,
please contact <a href="mailto:uktradeinfo@hmrc.gov.uk" target="_blank">uktradeinfo@hmrc.gov.uk</a>.</p>
