"New trade data from the Office for National Statistics this morning shows that the value of UK exports to the US, including precious metals, fell by 500m or 11.4% in September. The ONS says: The value of goods exports to the United States in September 2025 were at their lowest level since January 2022 and have remained relatively low since the introduction of tariffs in April."
"This drop in trade comes despite the deal agreed by Donald Trump and Keir Starmer this summer, under which the UK aerospace sector faces no tariffs at all from the US, while the auto industry now has 10% tariffs, down from 25%. More generally, the 10% baseline tariff implemented by the Trump administration remains on most UK goods, which is lower than the reciprocal tariffs applied to imports from other countries."
UK exports to the US dropped by 11.4% (£500m) in September 2025, reaching their lowest level since January 2022. Exports of chemicals to the US fell by £300m and machinery and transport equipment fell by £100m, with Jaguar Land Rover operations frozen for the month after a cyber attack. Total UK goods exports fell by £1.7bn (5.5%) in September, reducing exports to both EU and non-EU countries. The UK goods trade deficit widened by £3.0bn to £59.6bn in the third quarter. Aerospace faces no US tariffs under the Trump–Starmer deal; many other goods face a 10% US baseline tariff.
