Domain knowledge for DBT Trade Data — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

DBT Trade Data

The Department for Business and Trade Data API provides access to UK trade-related datasets in JSON and CSV formats.

Available Datasets

  • uk-tariff-2021-01-01 — UK Global Tariff rates applied to imports after Brexit.
  • market-barriers — Trade barriers reported by UK businesses operating overseas.
  • uk-trade-quotas — Tariff rate quotas for importing goods at reduced duty rates.
  • uk-trade-agreements — Free trade agreements the UK has negotiated or is negotiating.

Key Patterns

  • List datasets first to discover all available datasets and their metadata.
  • Get dataset metadata for a specific dataset (description, versions, fields).
  • Query dataset to retrieve actual data rows from the latest version.
  • The format parameter on queries supports "json" and "csv".

Gotchas

  • Large datasets: Some datasets (e.g. uk-tariff) contain millions of rows. The query endpoint returns paginated results — the response includes a next URL for subsequent pages.
  • Version pinning: Querying always uses the latest version. Get dataset metadata to see all available versions.
  • Dataset IDs: Use exact slugs from the list — they are case-sensitive.
