["Description:","• Calendar year 2020\n• Trader counts\n\n• Breakdown by the 15 different unique trader groups possible given the below four trade flows:\nA = Arrivals (EU Imports)\nD = Dispatches (EU Exports)\nI  = Imports (Non-EU Imports)\nE = Exports (Non-EU Exports) \nFor example, the trader group \"ADE\" will contain businesses doing EU imports, EU exports and Non-EU exports"]
["Notes:","*provisional data - subject to update*\n\n1.The trader count is derived from trade declarations and is a count of businesses importing and exporting trade in goods. The Non-EU and total figures will not include businesses whose Non-EU trade is made up entirely of consignments below the statistical threshold (£873 and 1000kg for 2019).\n\n2.EU trade data is only collected from VAT registered businesses. In contrast, Non-EU trade data is collected from both VAT and Non-VAT registered businesses. \n\n3.Intrastat and CHIEF data was compiled on a special trade basis, excluding trade that enters a customs warehouse but does not enter free circulation in the UK .\n\n4.The data presented will differ to that in HMRC’s Regional Trade Statistics (RTS) which presents business counts compiled on a quarterly basis and uses a different methodology.\n\n5. Data has been extracted for publication on 22/04/2021 and may be subject to change given amendments to data over time. If revision is required, it will be included in the next release in April 2022.\n"]
