USA Trade Online allows you to track the monthly exports from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia by country of destination and method of transportation. State exports are available using either the standard 2-, 4- and 6-digit HS commodity classification codes or 3- and 4-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) based codes.

Figure A: State Export Selection Option

Navigating the State Export Selections

When entering the State Export Data, you must first decide which commodity classification you want: HS or NAICS. Figures B-C show how to identify which selection you've chosen.

Navigating the State Export Options

To select a state or group of states, you can simply click the empty boxes beside the state names or you may prefer to search for the state by entering it's name in the Search box at the top and hitting Enter or or pressing the icon button. You can also use any of the following state selection options:

• Search Bar. Type in the name of the state and press the icon button. The page should then reload and show the state that matches your search. Check the box next to your desired state.
• Manual Selection. Click the empty box next to each state that you're interested in.
• Level Selection: Under the "Levels:" title, you will see multiple check and red "X" options. These allow you to select or unselect all items at a given level. If you hover your mouse over each, a pop-up box will tell you what clicking on them will select or unselect. Also, a grayed area will show up in the listing below which indicates what's effected. So if you want to select all individual states, you can click the check box under the second column and they'll be selected.
• All Selection: To select or unselect everything in the State dimension, click either the check and red "X" under the "All:" title.

Figure D: Selection Criteria for all State Exports	Figure E: Measures for State Exports

Like with the port data, there are seven measures available for the state exports (shown in Figure E), which are accessibile by selecting Measures (Figure D).

• Total Value ($US) is the value of trade from all shipping methods. This is the default measure, when none is selected.
• Vessel Value ($US) is the value of trade through vessel ports (seaborne trade).
• Vessel SWT (kg) is the shipping weight of trade going through vessel ports (seaborne trade) expressed in kilograms. (The state-level data won't tell you the individual number of items shipped.)
• Air Value ($US) is the value of trade through airborne carriers.
• Air SWT (kg) is the shipping weight of trade carried by airborne carriers expressed in kilograms. (The state-level data won't tell you the individual number of items shipped.)
• Containerized Vessel Value ($US) is the value of shipments transported in any van-type container. (Note that containerized vessel trade is already included in vessel trade above.)
• Containerized Vessel SWT (kg) is the shipping weight of trade transported in any van-type container expressed in kilograms. (Note that containerized vessel trade is already included in vessel trade above.)

• USA Trade Online automatically saves any changes you make to your commodity, country, state, district or port (as applicable), and measures criteria before you view the resulting table. Only the "Advanced Selection" option in the time dimension requires you to save your changes first.
