Summary

HMRC has announced the release of asymmetry statistics covering trade in goods between the UK and its EU and non-EU partners by value for calendar years 2022 to 2024. The statistics will be published on 26 June 2026 at 9:30am. This is a statistical methodology release rather than a regulatory change affecting compliance obligations.

What changed

HMRC published an official statistics announcement on 7 April 2026 confirming the release date of 26 June 2026 for asymmetry study data covering UK international trade in goods with EU and non-EU partner countries for 2022 to 2024. The study examines trade asymmetries by value (UK imports and exports) across the three-year period.

No compliance actions are required from regulated entities as this is a statistical release providing methodology and data analysis rather than imposing new regulatory requirements. Businesses involved in international trade may wish to review the data when published to understand reported asymmetries between UK and partner country trade statistics.
