Top Partners by Volume
The countries the UK trades with most, ranked by the combined value of imports and exports. A partner sits high when large volumes of goods and services flow both ways between it and the UK. The ranking reflects which economies Britain is most tied to commercially, and how exposed each side would be if that trade were disrupted.
