Latest official statistics for October 2021 show that UK goods exports to the EU are now 10% above average levels for 2020, although still below 2019 levels.

UK trade in services with the EU show little growth this year, as COVID continues to impact on the movement of people. Services exports to the EU remain below 2020 and 2019 levels.

On 1st October DIT launched the Export Support Service, which gives businesses across the UK one place to get answers to practical questions about exporting to Europe by using the digital service on GOV.UK or by phoning the helpline.
