UK imports fell 2.4% month-on-month to a three-month low of £81.30 billion in December 2025. Goods imports fell 3.4% to a three-month low of £52.81 billion, mainly due to lower imports from the EU (-2.4%), driven by a £0.6 billion fall in imports of machinery and transport equipment linked to reduced imports of cars from Germany. Meanwhile, imports from non-EU countries rose 4.4%, boosted by a £0.5 billion rise in imports of miscellaneous manufactures and a £0.2 billion rise in imports of crude materials and food & live animals. The rise in imports of crude materials was linked to higher imports of metal ores and scrap from South Africa, while the increase in imports of food and live animals was linked to higher imports of fruit and vegetables from Colombia.
