Although India shares a vast
history with the United Kingdom the trade relations between India and UK is
definitely not a match made in heaven. United Kingdom and India share
spectacular historical relations but their trade relations have been
comparatively weak and non-significant. After remaining a British colony for
over two hundred years India has emerged as one of the strongest economies in
the world and is one of the fastest growing economies ranking sixth in the
world based on nominal GDP and third based on purchasing power parity. On the
other hand being a powerful colonial nation for more than two centuries the
economy of the United Kingdom declined sharply.

India is one of the largest
investors in the United Kingdom but the trade relations of India and UK have
not been very strong and significant. UK
Import data ranks UK 21st among the countries from where India
gets most of its imports. Data shows that though the bilateral trade between
India and UK increased by 170% during 2004-14 but its total grew by 800% during
the same period. India imports heavy machinery, car engines and aero planes
which are imported after being assembled in Germany or France. The bilateral
trade relation between India and UK has seen a further decline after the Brexit
referendum.
The UK Import data comprises of all the information related to all the
commodities which are imported in India from the UK along with the customs and
tariffs applicable on them. The data also contains information related to all
the shipments which come to India through air, water and sea routes with
details regarding the exporters of UK who are exporting their goods in India,
place of origin and specifics of the commodities imported. This data is of
great use for anyone who is looking to import from the UK.
