Eggs: Ukraine
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate her Department has made of the volume of egg imports into the United Kingdom from Ukraine in the last 12 months.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is responsible for the collection and publication of data on imports and exports of goods to and from the UK. HMRC releases this information monthly, as an Accredited Official Statistic called the Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics (OTS), which is available via their dedicated website (www.uktradeinfo.com)
From this website, it is possible to build your own data tables based upon bespoke search criteria including imports from Ukraine.
Goods moving to and from the UK are identified by commodity codes. To build a table you will need to know the commodity code of the goods imported. These codes are available in the UK Tariff at https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff. The commodity code for eggs can be found in Chapter 04.
If you need help or support in constructing a table from the data on uktradeinfo, please contact uktradeinfo@hmrc.gov.uk.
