    International trade has always been important to Britain, its importance hav-
ing increased markedly in recent years. Exports of goods and services now ac-
count for nearly a third of gross domestic product, compared with almost a fifth
some 30 years ago; imports have shown a broadly similar trend as proportions of
home demand.
    The fifth largest trading nation in the world, Britain provides just over 9 per
cent of the main manufacturing countries' exports of manufactured goods. The
country is a major supplier of aerospace products, motor vehicles, electrical
equipment, chemicals, textiles and most types of machinery, and is a growing oil
exporter. It relies upon imports for about two-fifth of total consumption of food-
stuffs and for most of the raw materials required by industry.
    Manufactured goods account for about three-quarters of exports of goods, a
feature is the shift towards finished, rather than semi-finished, goods. The most
important group is machinery and transport equipment.
    An increasing proportion on trade has been with other European Community
member countries. They account for six of the top ten export markets, taking 43
per cent of British exports in 1980, and for six of the ten leading suppliers of
goods to Britain. Britain's largest single export market was the Federal Republic
of Germany, the largest single supplier of imports being the United States.
    Long an advocate of the removal of artificial trading barriers, Britain main-
tains few restrictions on its international trade. Most goods may be imported
freely and only a narrow range of goods is subject to export control.
