The value of works of art, collectors' pieces, and antiques exported from the United Kingdom decreased in 2023 over the previous year. In 2023, exports to non-EU countries amounted to roughly 2.8 billion British pounds, while they peaked at about 9.4 billion British pounds in 2019. Meanwhile, the value of exports to the European Union reached 1.1 billion British pounds in 2023.
As of January 1, 2021, the United Kingdom officially left the European Union. The sharp increase in the EU exports' value recorded in 2021 might be because HMRC changed its way of measuring exports to the EU after Brexit, specifying that figures reported from 2021 onwards cannot be compared with data previously released. As the United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU single market, all UK exports to the EU must be strictly recorded.
