Somewhat expected, the most populous states/territories are the states/territories that import and export the most, with Texas consistently having the most exports every year, and California having the most imports (although Texas isn't far behind).
Another common feature is that some of the lower population states, such as Montana, make most of their trade with a border country such as Canada.
It can also be very quickly noticed which countries the US is friendly/trade partners with. For example, China and Australia consistently show up on both the import and export lists for each state, often with high numbers.
It can also be noted that both the total exports and total imports have been on the rise each consecutive year. However, import numbers are typically higher than the export numbers.
Crude oil dominates over all other imports. Also high ranking on the imports is petrol oil bitum mineral. But interestingly there is actually a higher value of exported petrol oil bitum minerals than what is imported. So much that bitum material ranks 2nd on the whole of exports. Also of great interest is a related item petroleum/bitum nt biod. Which ranks right after as the 3rd biggest export in 2012 and 2013. Seemingly a relatively new product, in 2010 and 2011, petroleum/bitum nt biod was not imported or exported.
Unsurprisingly Alaska is the only state that exports Alaska pollock, both whole and frozen.
Value wise, there is more gold going out of the country than coming in.
There are only 3 states that import paintings. New York, DC and Wyoming. New York accounts for 99% of painting imports at over 4 billion each year. But New York also exports almost as much in paintings as well. Wyoming does not export paintings. Hawaii doesn't import, but does export about 10 million worth each year.
DC is the only region that "imports" an item called "pictures, designs and photographs, printed"
The vast majority of DC exports are military related. 21.5% of the imported item worth is drinking alcohol related.
Illinois likes beer. New York likes wine.
By value, there is at least 10x more imported video game consoles than exported. Either foreign consoles are more popular, xBox has bad world wide sales, and/or consoles are made here and shipped out.
