Following quality assurance and checking procedures, HMRC has identified several areas where businesses had submitted incorrect trade data on their original trade declarations. Corrections have been applied to the overseas trade in goods statistics from 2011 to 2017. These corrections have been released today in line with the UK statistical authority Code of Practice for statistics and the HMRC revision policy.
These revisions are reflected in the interactive data tables available on the HMRC trade data website.
