Summary

TIGs is to 8-digit commodity code for reporting unit and includes statistical value, net mass, supplementary unit, currency invoiced and month of trade.

Description

The Trade in Goods dataset comprises import and export data for individual trader consignments. These data have been indexed against the Reference Data Management Framework (RDMF), and specifically the Classification Index (CI), to enable safe and secure linkage to other similarly indexed datasets. This dataset continues to provide company-level HMRC Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics (OTS) giving reporting-unit level exports and imports of goods, to enable analysis with other reporting-unit and business-level datasets. The hierarchy for businesses is the same as the Office For National Statistics (ONS) uses on the IDBR (Inter-Departmental Business Register) which is: - Enterprise group (common ownership level) – Enterprise (CRN, PAYE and VAT level – however, multiple 9-digit VAT references may still match to the same IDBR enterprise reference) – Reporting Unit (ONS-specific subdivisions of enterprises for the purposes of business surveys. Only some the largest businesses are split into reporting units, for the vast majority this is the same as the enterprise level. Apportionment is carried out to reporting units where there are multiple candidate reporting units within an enterprise group, as occasionally IDBR VAT matching is to an enterprise with no employment, while other enterprises within the group have positive employment, and this is presumed to better match the economic activity. This dataset has more stringent requirements for statistical disclosure control than typical ONS datasets in the IDS. Researchers must familiarise themselves with these requirements and ensure that the stricter controls are evidenced in any research output requests.
