The report provides information on three-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, compares export trends to previous years, and sheds light upon potential future developments.
Among the key findings:
' Canada and Mexico received the highest value of exports from the United States, with $200 and $129 billion, respectively, from January through October 2010.
' All industry groups analyzed in the review posted positive value changes over last year, with the average value growth at 23.5 percent.
' Hit severely by the recession, mineral and ore exports recovered well in 2010 and posted the highest value change over last year, with a 61.5 percent increase.
' China is the third-largest importer of U.S. exports — top products include soybeans, aircraft, and aluminum scrap.
For each three-digit NAICS code, the review lists the top countries of destination, the top U.S. ports of departure, the current trade balance, value trends for the previous two years, and transportation methods used.
