U.K. exports of chocolate, gin, whiskey, sparkling wine and other “festive treats” increased “significantly” last year after the country’s signing in July of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (see 2307170023), the Department for Business and Trade said Dec. 28. The agency said those goods are being “ordered en masse” by CPTPP countries, especially Singapore, Japan, Mexico and Malaysia. Exports of Scotch whiskey to Singapore have risen by 31% and to Malaysia by 43%, the U.K. said, while sparkling wine exports to Japan have increased by 140%
Search Primer
Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.
Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").
Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.
Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).
Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).
Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").
Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
