UK commerce: November 2025

UK Trade Figures for November 2025

In November 2025, the total value of imported goods dropped by £0.6 billion (1.1%). This decline was mainly due to reduced imports from countries outside the EU, although this was partly balanced by an increase in imports from EU nations.

Meanwhile, the value of exported goods climbed by £0.6 billion (1.9%) during the same month, with exports to both EU and non-EU destinations showing growth.

However, exports of goods to the United States, including precious metals, saw a significant decrease of £0.5 billion (10.4%). Imports from the US also declined, falling by £0.9 billion (12.3%).

Looking at the broader picture, the overall trade deficit for goods and services expanded by £2.7 billion, reaching £6.1 billion in the three months leading up to November 2025, compared to the previous three-month period.
