Dataset(s): UK trade: goods and services publication tables (up until July 2018)

A small error in the trade in goods excluding oil and erratics import price indices occurred in the UK Trade: March 2018 publication tables and related time series dataset due to a processing error. The error impacted the trade in goods excluding oil and erratics import price index (series ELBA) for the period January 2018 to March 2018 in Table 3, the trade in goods excluding oil and erratics import price index growth rate in Table 4 and the trade in goods excluding oil and erratics import price indices for EU and non-EU (series SHCM and SHEB) in Table 6. This had no impact on any other series or commentary in the UK trade: March 2018 publication. The price series have now been corrected and ONS apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused. You can see all previous versions of this data on the previous versions page.

An error has been identified in the “Total trade excluding erratics” series CPLX, CPLY and CPLZ. These series are included in table 1CONT. of the excel and PDF versions of the publication tables for the UK Trade: December 2016 release and associated time-series dataset. These components have now been corrected. We apologise for any inconvenience.

A correction has been made to table 17R Summary of Revisions in the excel version of the publication tables. This was due to a small error where the revisions to trade in services in April and May 2016 had been omitted.

A minor error was identified in table 7 of the May 2016 UK Trade Publication; specifically series BOQM and BPBN, volume and average price of crude oil (exports only). We have now corrected these series. You can see all previous versions of these data on the previous versions page. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
