United Kingdom Overseas Trade Statistics and Annual Statements of Overseas Trade.

Notes:

1. Values are those current at the time of the transaction: constant price data are not available at this level of detail.

2. The statistical bases on which the above figures are given are: 1968, 1969: Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), Revision 1 (R1); 1970–76: SITC (R1) (incorporating 1981 adjustments); 1978–1982: SITC (R2) (adjusted). For purposes of comparison, figures for 1977 are given on both an SITC (R1) and an SITC (R2) (adjusted) basis.
