6. HMRC Regional Trade Statistics includes all merchandise trade within the scope of the UK's Overseas Trade Statistics. It therefore excludes trade in services (e.g. banking, tourism) and intangibles (e.g. financial investments or transfers) and also the movement of goods between regions of the UK. The estimates also include oil and gas trade.

11. HMRC RTS methodology is such that comparable data is only available post-2013 for Scotland.
12. Data is available at a much more disaggregated level as well as in weight (tonnes), but only at a broader UK level. For such data see Trade Map (an interactive database of international trade flows covering 220 countries and territories and 5300 products of the Harmonized System, provided by the international trade centre).
