Data source and notes

This product uses the Census Bureau Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau.

  • Export values: U.S. Census Bureau, International Trade data (census.gov/foreign-trade), free-alongside-ship (FAS) value in current U.S. dollars, not adjusted for inflation. Latest month available: July 2026. Retrieved 2026-09-26. Figures are shown as published, rounded for display (on a computer, hover over a table value to see the exact figure). The Census Bureau revises past months, and we refresh the data every month.
  • State figures follow the Census Bureau's "origin of movement" series: the state the goods were shipped from on their way to the port of export, which is not necessarily the state where they were produced. States with large ports or distribution hubs can appear higher, and farm states lower.
  • Shares, year-over-year changes and rankings are Fromerica calculations based on these figures. Product names come from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (U.S. International Trade Commission) heading for each 4-digit code.
  • Fromerica is an independent company, not affiliated with any government agency. This page is for information only and is not legal, trade or investment advice.
