Cotton yarn (other than sewing thread), containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale

Not openFigures for the 12 months from September 2025 to August 2026.

From official customs statistics, never company records.

Imports from every country, by the country goods were sent from.

United Kingdom counts an import against the country the goods were sent from, which is not always where they were made: a Turkish product a wholesaler elsewhere sells on counts as that country's.
