Exports statistics Scotland 2021

ESS is the primary official source on Scotland’s exports. As trade between countries is complex, trade figures are always estimated using statistical methods. Different methods of defining trade are likely to result in different estimations of a country’s trade. As Scotland does not control its own customs borders, this adds an additional layer of complexity as trade will often be apportioned to Scotland from UK values.

There is no equivalent export publication to Export Statistics Scotland for the UK or it’s regions. Information on alternative sources of trade data can be found in the methodology.
