The value of works of art, collectors' pieces, and antiques exported from the United Kingdom decreased in 2021 over the previous year. In 2021, exports to non-EU countries amounted to roughly 2.4 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 2021.
As of January 1, 2021, the United Kingdom officially left the European Union. The increase in the EU exports' value recorded in 2021 compared to 2020 might be explained because HMRC changed its way to measure exports to the EU after Brexit, specifying that it is not possible to directly compare figures for 2021 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.
