Introduction

• This publication presents a quarterly analysis of UK exports and imports of goods grouped according to the activity of which those goods are principal products. Data are presented according to the classes of the 2008 Classification of Product by Activity (CPA(08)).
• All data are shown on a seasonally adjusted Balance of Payments basis at current prices, which provides a comprehensive set of CPA (08) trade in goods figures fully compatible with the National Statistics Balance of Payments and National Accounts outputs.
• The Quarter 2 2014 issue of UK trade in goods by CPA is consistent with the figures published in the National Statistics UK Trade Release of 9 September 2014.
