From 8 April HMRC is going to introduce an exporter details facility on uktradeinfo.com.
Exporters can opt out of the searchable facility, but details cannot be removed retrospectively. Once the data has been made available, it cannot be removed. Exporters who apply immediately will not have their details shown. Otherwise, export data from 1 January 2016 will be made available.
The opt-out rules for Importers Details are also changing from 8 April to bring them into line with the exporter details rules. Anyone who applies for opt-out from Importer Details immediately will have their details excluded from 1 February 2016.
