These provide an opportunity to gauge the opinions of data providers/users and also help identify issues for improvement.

Reviews tend to be more structured….

(10) Trade Statistics Trade Challenge Process

HMRC have an established procedure for users to report and challenge published trade data that they believe to contain anomalies. Information regarding the specific data elements and why they are believed to be wrong, is sent to the Customer Service team who will arrange for an investigation (subject to available resource).

Details of the reporting procedure are available on uktradeinfo.com here.

In 2012 HMRC received a total of 73 trade challenges. Due to the nature of the challenges i.e. querying the commodity code, country, value, net mass, volume or a combination of any of these fields, the investigations conducted necessitated the checking of thousands of individual lines of data.

Amendment of data was conducted in line with the OTS Revisions Policy available here. An example of an unscheduled revision conducted in the last year is available here.

Feedback Soundbites“I have a small business and I am writing to you to say that your website is very helpful to me. I hope the government won't decommission your website. Please send my email to the decision makers so they know how useful this website is and how much we appreciate this.” Commercial data and guidance user

“Excellent team to deal with, most helpful.” Detailed data user

“The data is particularly useful in monitoring the UK market and the market share of individual companies. It provides the [member] companies with a measure of their performance.” Trade user

“This information helps to inform the priorities & risks of the reliefs that are in the operational framework and tactical plan.” Government user

“The interactive database is absolutely excellent – first class job and very useful. I found my way around the site quite easily. Help notes in the 3 different formats meant my queries were immediately answered with very clear instructional guidance. Promotion to other Trade Associations would be very useful. We should and could make good use of the statistical information that HMRC has provided. Pass on my congratulations to the team responsible.” Trade Association


“The detailed trade data we use has improved, but it still isn’t as accurate as we would like it to be. We would like to work with you to improve the data declared by our members and published by you.” Trade Association

"Consistent 1st class service has always been provided.“ Bespoke data user

“I didn’t want to go away from your service without saying to someone how surprised and pleased I was by the help I received from the person who happened to pick up my call. Not only was I amazed that she had the patience to talk me through using the database while I followed her instructions, she was good enough to check my findings and verify them by carrying out the same searches as me, and delivering the proof by email. As a journalist (not that she knew I was at the time) this was not only immensely reassuring and useful but an almost unprecedented experience for me in dealing with a government department. I am impressed, grateful and delighted.” Journalist

“HMRC are thanked for their comprehensive investigation and top quality service”. Government user

“If we lost the data it would affect the quality of our decision-making and policy work.” Government user


“Thanks very much – a very useful response. Tell me how I email your boss, you’re the most helpful person I’ve ever dealt with in a government department!” New data user

"I have always found your people helpful but their demeanour and perhaps scope (resources) for helping just gets better every year.“ Casual data enquiry

“An excellent official UK import and export resource.” Commercial user

“The data is essential to us as it is the only source of information that allows us to profile third country trade by business type, region etc. and its importance is recognised by business heads across HMRC.” HMRC user

"Overall very impressed.” Web user

"Excellent service from very helpful staff.“ Journalist


“Described by judges as ‘excellent and innovative’ and ‘a wonderful example for other statisticians’, its design was based on extensive consultation with users. It not only offers increased data availability but simplified data access, improved data visualisation with time series, tabulation, charting and mapping within an interactive multi-dimensional data cube, and enhanced table storing and sharing capability for social media users. All of this was achieved with a 20 per cent cost saving. Judges particularly liked the facility for users to build their own tables and charts from the extensive overseas trade database and to share these via email and social media.”

Website Referrals

A growing number of worldwide websites link to uktradeinfo.com as a useful source for trade data, information and guidance. Sample introductions include...

“Not your average resource. This cheeky little chappy is actually an HMRC site in possession of a whole lorryfull of import/export statistics. You can use it to do (pretty darn advanced) research, but also find things like the right commodity code for your goods or the right airport or seaport code.”

“In the UK there is a site called uktradeinfo, where you can track imports and exports into the EU by customs tariff. To give an example, a few years ago one of my clients was able to gather information on the movement of an uncommon chemical into the UK which from his market knowledge enabled him to extrapolate information on competitors and get a better price from his supplier as he was able to see the total value of the import.”

2009 Triennial Review of the Intrastat Survey

The full report (published May 2010) can be viewed here. Summary user findings included:

81% of users stated they used free HMRC trade data.

71% of those who contacted HMRC to obtain EU trade data were satisfied with the service they received.

74% were satisfied with the quality of EU statistics produced by HMRC.

Recommendations to improve EU data users satisfaction were:

☺ Increase the presence of the uktradeinfo Customer Service team contact details on the uktradeinfo website. ☺ Investigate providing functionality allowing the presentation and download of multiple year data in the uktradeinfo interactive tables. ☺ Take steps to improve user understanding of the data available to them by improving the metadata offered and the availability / linkage to other data products.
