Monthly trade in goods
Total imports of goods in current prices, which are not adjusted for inflation (as explained in Section 13: Glossary), decreased by £1.7 billion (3.4%) in June 2025, because of a £1.3 billion (4.8%) fall in imports from the EU and a £0.4 billion (1.7%) decrease in imports from non-EU countries (Table 1 and Figure 1).

Total exports of goods decreased by £1.9 billion (6.3%) in June 2025, because of a £1.5 billion (9.5%) fall in exports to non-EU countries and a £0.4 billion (2.9%) decrease in exports to the EU.

Imports from the EU were £2.5 billion higher than from non-EU countries in June 2025, while exports to the EU were £0.3 billion higher than to non-EU countries.

After removing the effect of inflation by calculating chained volume measures (as explained in Section 13: Glossary), total goods imports decreased by £1.9 billion (3.6%) in June 2025 (Figure 2). This was primarily because of a £1.5 billion (5.7%) fall in imports from the EU, while imports from non-EU countries fell by £0.4 billion (1.5%).

Total goods exports decreased by £1.9 billion (6.1%) in June 2025 after the effect of inflation was removed. This was primarily because exports to non-EU countries fell by £1.6 billion (10.2%), while exports to the EU fell by £0.3 billion (2.1%).
