Regional trade statistics corrections, 2011 to 2017
Summary of corrections to regional trade in goods statistics made in September 2019
Following quality assurance and checking procedures, Trade statistics has identified several areas where businesses had submitted trade incorrectly on their original trade declarations.
Given the scale and the impact of the changes on trade statistics, HMRC has revised the overseas trade in goods figures for 2011 to 2017.
These corrections were released on 8 August in line with the UK statistical authority Code of Practice for statistics and the HMRC revision policy.
These corrections have now been applied to the regional trade in goods statistics alongside the 2019 Q2 release, published on 5 September 2019 for the periods 2013 to 2017.
