Merchandise Exports is Origin of Movement data reported quarterly by the World Institute for Strategic Economic Research (WISER) based on trade data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau, Foreign Division. The data represent the dollar value of exports by state, three-digit NAICS code, and destination market (country).The Origin of Movement data are based on shippers’ export declarations and reflect the reported point of origin, which may be the state where the commodity begins its export journey, the state of origin of the good with the greatest share of value in a bundle of exports, or the state where the goods are consolidated by an intermediary for shipment overseas. Thus, the data do not always identify the state where the commodities were produced. The export data supplied by WISER are proprietary and are reproduced with permission.
