Census Issues Profile of U.S. Exporting Companies
On October 14, 2004, the U.S. Census Bureau issued a report entitled "A Profile of U.S. Exporting Companies, 2001 - 2002." This report is the seventh in a series of reports profiling the U.S. exporting community. The report notes that in 2002 more than 223,000 U.S. companies exported goods valued at more than $600 billion from the U.S. The report indicates that more U.S. companies exported to Canada than any other country (92,814), followed by Mexico (38,807), the United Kingdom (37,648), Japan (27,213), and Germany (25,430). The top five U.S. export markets in 2002, based on total export value, were Canada, Mexico, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The top five export markets are unchanged since 1999. The top five exporting states based on total number of exporters in 2002 were California, Florida, New York, Texas and Illinois.
