A PROFILE OF U.S. IMPORTING AND EXPORTING COMPANIES, 2018-2019

Release Number: CB21-52

The U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce, releases the report, A Profile of U.S. Importing and Exporting Companies, 2018 - 2019. This report provides information on identified U.S. companies and their known export or import value. Identified companies are enterprise-level companies that were successfully linked from the 2019 Census Business Register to import or export transaction records. The known export or import value is the dollar-value of export or import transactions linked to these identified companies. Using the information from the Census Business Register, this report details trade data by various company characteristics of U.S. exporting and importing companies. For the full report or to view the explanatory notes on how these statistics are gathered and compiled, go to https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/Press-Release/edb/2019/.

Exports The 2019 identified U.S. exporting companies (“exporters”) accounted for a known export value of $1,455 billion, or 88.6 percent of the total value of exported goods in 2019 ($1,643 billion). This is a decrease of 1.8 percent from the 2018 known export value of $1,481 billion. Large exporters accounted for over two-thirds ($996 billion) of the known export value, while small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) accounted for the remaining $460 billion. Large exporters accounted for 82.9 percent of exports by manufacturers, 42.9 percent by wholesalers, and 53.5 percent by other exporters.

Of the 288,063 identified exporters in 2019, 24.6 percent were manufacturers 32.1 percent were wholesalers, and 43.2 percent were classified as other. Additionally, 90,661 of these identified exporters did not report exports in 2018.

The known export value of single location exporters decreased by 5.2 percent and decreased by 0.8 percent for multiple location exporters. Large exporters reported that 42.4 percent of their exports were related party trade, while SME exporters reported only 22.1 percent were related party trade. Multiple location exporters reported that 40.8 percent of their known export value was related party trade, more than double the proportion reported by single location companies.

Of all North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) subsectors, 336 (Transportation Equipment Manufacturing) had the highest known export value at $239 billion in 2019. Nearly 40 percent of the known export value of SME exporters is attributable to NAICS subsectors 423 ($103 billion) and 424 ($80 billion), both wholesalers subsectors. The top fifty manufacturers accounted for 49.0 percent of the known export value of all manufacturers in 2019. The known export value reported by the top four wholesalers increased by 28.2 percent from 2018.

In 2019, 59.0 percent of exporters reported exporting to only one country, and accounted for 4.9 percent of the known export value. Only 2.0 percent of exporters reported exporting to 25 or more countries, but accounted for 70.3 percent of the known export value.

Nearly one-quarter (23.9 percent) of identified exporters reported exports from California (11.1 percent of the known export value), while 14.1 percent of identified exporters reported exports from Texas, which accounted for the largest portion of the known export value at 20.6 percent. California and Florida continue to have the largest number of SME exporters reporting exports, with a combined 40.0 percent of SME exporters reporting exports from these two states.

Imports Identified U.S. importing companies (“importers”) accounted for a known import value of $2,167 billion, or 86.8 percent of the total value of imported goods in 2019 ($2,498 billion). This is a decrease of 0.3 percent from the 2018 known import value of $2,174 billion. As with large exporters, large importers accounted for nearly 70 percent of the known import value ($1,498 billion), while SME importers accounted for the remaining $669 billion. Large importers accounted for 86.5 percent of imports by manufacturers, 48.6 percent by wholesalers, and 66.9 percent by other importers.

Of the 224,699 identified importers in 2019 (an increase of 0.1 percent from 2018), 17.9 percent were manufacturers, 39.5 percent were wholesalers, and 42.6 percent were classified as other.

Explanatory Notes

NOTE TO USERS: This section contains critical information on sources and reliability of data, as well as

definitions of terms and methodological procedures that users should consider before attempting to interpret or

analyze the statistical data presented in this report. Failure to do so may affect the results.

The Census Bureau has reviewed this data product for unauthorized disclosure of confidential information and

has approved the disclosure avoidance practices applied. (Approval ID: CBDRB-FY21-144)

Overview

This report is a continuing series of reports profiling U.S. importers and exporters. The first report, A Profile of

United States Exporters: Initial Findings from the Exporter Data Base, was released by the International Trade

Administration in September 1993. That report was based on Census Bureau data compiled both from the 1987

Economic Census and from documents filed for export clearances during 1987 and used a methodology not

employed in succeeding reports. Subsequent reports, covering 1992 through present, are based on economic

census and survey data on file at the Census Bureau, administrative records from other government agencies,

and documents filed for export clearances. The 2009 report introduced import data to the profile. The annual

release is now named the Profile of U.S. Importing and Exporting Companies.

These profiles are compiled by the Economic Statistical Methods Division of the U. S. Census Bureau. The

International Trade Administration (ITA) is a partial sponsor of the work, providing both financial assistance

and advice on data user needs. The ITA also sponsors more detailed tabulations, which will be available on

their website later this year. Users will be notified on the ITA website (http://trade.gov) when this information

is available.

Effective with the 1997/1998 report, companies are classified according to the North American Industry

Classification System (NAICS) instead of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. There are

differences in the ways NAICS and SIC classify certain types of companies. For example, manufacturers of

prepackaged software and books are classified as manufacturers under SIC and as “Other” types of companies

under NAICS. Users are advised to consider these differences when making year-over-year comparisons of

exporters and exporter characteristics before and after 1997. This profile, based on new and revised data, uses

the same methodology as previous years.

The importer and exporter profiles are developed to provide both government and private sector users with

information about the importing and exporting community including employment size, type of company, and

major foreign markets. In this report the data are presented in Tables 1 through 7, where the export and import

data use letters a through h to designate whether the data represents statistical year, prior year, or year-over-

year comparisons. Letters g and h represent data on companies that both import and export for current and

prior year. The previous year’s export figures in this report are revised from data released in the previous

exporter profile. The revisions are based on the ability to match additional export records.

The tables in this report include detailed breakdowns based upon the number of employees of the identified

importing and exporting companies. In presenting these results, companies are classified as small (less than

100 employees including number of employees unknown), medium (100 to 499 employees), and large (500 or

more employees).

Table 3 provides information on exports to related parties, such as parent or subsidiary firms. Two parties are

considered related if either party owns, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the other party. We do not

currently capture related party information for imports entered into U.S. Foreign Trade Zones. As a result, the

import related party tables (3c and 3d) are not available at this time. Due to mandatory AES filing

Page 10: A PROFILE OF U.S. IMPORTING AND EXPORTING COMPANIES, …

ii

requirements, an exporter must report whether or not an export shipment is to a related party. Therefore,

effective with the 2009/2010 report, the columns in tables 3a and 3b labeled “Non-reported” have been

eliminated.

All percentages stated in this report, unless otherwise specified, were calculated based solely upon the

statistical and prior years’ import or export values that could be linked to specific active companies in the Business Register--the “known value.” In addition, the source of the administrative records, the Business

Register, was restructured starting with 2002 data. For explanations of the methods used in tabulating the

information as well as non-sampling errors and other limitations of the export data in this report, see the

Methodology section below. Users are advised to consider these limitations when analyzing this information as

they may affect the results. Users should cite the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce as the

source of the information in this report, not as the source of their analyses.

Sources of Information

The importer and exporter profiles were created from import and export merchandise trade information and

company characteristics contained in the Census Bureau’s database of company information, the Business

Register. Company characteristics are gathered through economic censuses and surveys and supplemented

with employment and payroll information provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Data on U.S. exports of

merchandise from the U.S. to all countries, except Canada, is compiled from the Electronic Export Information

(EEI) filed by the United States Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) or their agents through the Automated

Export System (AES). The EEI is unique among Census Bureau data collection methods since it is not sent to

respondents soliciting responses as in the case of surveys. Each EEI represents a shipment of one or more

kinds of merchandise from one exporter to one foreign importer on a single carrier. Filing the EEI is

mandatory under Chapter 9, Title 13, United States Code. Qualified exporters or their agents submit EEI data

by automated means directly to the U.S. Census Bureau. The United States is substituting Canadian import

statistics for U.S. exports to Canada in accordance with a 1987 Memorandum of Understanding signed by the

Census Bureau, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Canadian Customs, and Statistics Canada. The import

trade statistics are compiled from multiple sources. The majority of import data comes from transactions filed

electronically by importers or their licensed brokers via the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) or the

Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Other sources include electronic or paper documents for foreign

trade zone admission and paper import entry summaries. In addition, data on imports of electricity and natural

gas from Canada are obtained from Canadian sources.

Methodology

This profile was compiled using company identifiers or company names from import and export transactions

to electronically or manually link trade data to company characteristics in the Business Register. Beginning

with data year 2002, the Business Register database was completely restructured to include additional

information. Due to these changes and problems with our prior methodology, the matching routines used to

create the Profile were updated. Despite the limitations within the Business Register, we are able to maintain

consistency with our prior Profiles’ matching routines.

Less than 3 percent of the total export value and slightly more than 3 percent of the import value, including

low-value estimates, imports or exports by U.S. and foreign governments, timing adjustments, and end-of-year

revisions, was excluded from this matching process because the transactions cannot be attributed to specific

importing or exporting companies. Export transactions that could not be matched electronically were

investigated and linked manually to specific companies using a combination of criteria, including company

name, location, type, and product. Import transactions that could not be matched electronically were left

unmatched. Unlike exports, all of the identifiers are numeric for imports, so the name matching investigations used to increase the export match rates cannot be applied. A comparison of the overall match rates, based on

Page 11: A PROFILE OF U.S. IMPORTING AND EXPORTING COMPANIES, …

iii

total import and export value, is presented in Table 1 under Distribution of Exports and Imports by Identified

and Unidentified Companies, on page 7.

It was not possible to investigate every unmatched export transaction, so priority was given to those with the

highest export values. The percentage of unidentified value tends to decrease each year as more companies are

identified and value thresholds triggering investigation are lowered. Therefore, users should make year-to-year

comparisons with caution and be aware that the number of small companies and their associated known value

are most likely understated. Similarly, the known value may not reflect all shipments by identified companies.

Beginning with data year 2010, this profile is produced using the same revised import and export data used to

compile the Economic Indicator Division’s published U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services Annual

Revision for a given data year. The rows labeled “Revisions” will be removed from Table 1 under Distribution

of Exports and Imports by Identified and Unidentified Companies effective with the 2010/2011 report.

Data Quality

Quality assurance procedures were applied to all phases of collection, processing and tabulation of the

information in this report to minimize errors. The data continue to be subject to non-sampling errors in data

reporting (of the basic trade statistics and the administrative record source data), coding, keying, and in

coverage (due to failure to identify all importing and exporting companies). For an explanation of non-

sampling errors affecting the trade statistics, see the Information on Goods and Services section of the FT

900 U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services, or call (301)763-2311 to request a copy of the release.

One can also obtain this information from the web at the following address: http://www.census.gov/ft900.

The characteristics of importing and exporting companies in this report reflect companies that could be

matched to the Business Register. When analyzing these data, users should consider the possible impact of

unmatched transactions and unidentified companies on their results. Unidentified importers or exporters may

not reflect the same distribution of company types and sizes as identified companies. Similarly, comparisons

between the number of companies importing or exporting in given categories may be misleading due to

differences in the percentage of value matched to companies of various types and sizes.

Year-over-year comparisons should also be made with caution. Changes in the number of importers or

exporters and the value of their transactions, the known value, may be due to differences in match rates or

companies entering/dropping out of the import/export market. Table 1, under Distribution of Exports and

Imports by Identified and Unidentified Companies, at the beginning of this report shows a comparison of the

match rates, based on total value, as well as the value attributable to companies that either imported or

exported in both years.

Each Table of the report is analyzed to determine if one or more companies’ trade values would be disclosed

by a particular known value. In cases where this is deemed true, a “D” will indicate that the known value was

suppressed as a result of this disclosure concern. In cases where the particular Table contains additive

structures, complimentary known values are suppressed to eliminate the possibility of calculating the known

value of a suppressed cell.

Data by State

The data contained in Tables 6a through 6c are based on the Origin of Movement (OM) State. The U.S. state of

origin is the 2-character postal code for the state in which the goods begin their journey to the port of export.

This field allowed the compilation of the Origin of Movement - Based on Origin State Series. The OM series

based on origin state has been available since 1987 and is intended to reflect the transportation origin of exports.

Page 12: A PROFILE OF U.S. IMPORTING AND EXPORTING COMPANIES, …

iv

The data contained in Tables 6d and 6e are based on the U.S. State of Destination. This is defined as the U.S.

state, U.S. territory or U.S. possession where the merchandise is destined, as known at the time of entry

summary filing. For shipments into Foreign Trade Zones, the import state represents the location of the zone.

For more complete information on the state data series, refer to the notice at: https://www.census.gov/foreign-

trade/statistics/state/index.html

NAICS-based Data

The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) is a two- through six-digit hierarchical

classification system, offering five levels of detail. Each digit in the code is part of a series of progressively

narrower categories, and the more digits in the code signify greater classification detail. The first two digits

designate the economic sector, the third digit designates the subsector, the fourth digit designates the industry

group, the fifth digit designates the NAICS industry, and the sixth digit designates the national industry.

NAICS information for a given company or establishment comes from a variety of governmental agencies.

These include the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Bureau of

Labor Statistics (BLS). These agencies collect information from companies and provide these data to the

Census Bureau to the best of their abilities. Generally, the U.S. Census Bureau's NAICS classification codes

are derived from information that the business establishment provided on surveys, census forms, or

administrative records. Occasionally, these codes can only be defined at a level of very low detail (as low as 2

digits).

Company. A company is a business consisting of one domestic location (single location company) or more

than one domestic location (multiple location company) under its ownership or control.

Identified Companies: Identified companies are those companies to which one or more transactions

were matched. The import or export value associated with these companies is termed “known value.”

Unclassified Companies: These are identified companies for which no NAICS classification

(manufacturers, wholesalers or other companies) could be assigned. As of 2012, these companies will

be considered other companies.

Company Size. Company sizes are based on employment: small (less than 100 employees including number

of employees unknown), medium (100 - 499 employees), and large (500 or more employees).

Company Type. Company types are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)

and are broken out into manufacturers, wholesalers, and all other companies. Those companies for which

a valid NAICS code is not available are placed in the other grouping.

v

Employment. Employment includes all employees, full-time or part-time, reported on a firm’s payroll during

specific payroll periods.

General Imports. "General Imports" measure the total physical arrivals of merchandise from foreign

countries, whether such merchandise enters consumption channels immediately or is entered into bonded

warehouses or Foreign Trade Zones under Customs custody.

Low-value Estimates. Export transactions valued under $2,501 and import transactions valued under $251

for certain quota items and $2001 for all other imported goods, are not required to be reported. Instead,

the Census Bureau estimates the value of such shipments to each country using factors based on the ratios

of low-valued shipments to individual country totals for past periods. For more information please see the

following link: http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/aip/lvpaper.html

Related Party. A related party transaction is one between a U.S. exporter and a foreign consignee, where

either party owns (directly or indirectly) 10 percent or more of the other party.

State of the Origin of Movement (OM). The OM series data provides export statistics based on the U.S.

state from which the merchandise starts its journey to the port of export; i.e., the transportation origin.

This information is reported by the exporter. See the Data Quality section above for limitations of this

data series.

State of Destination. The State of Destination data series provides import statistics based on the U.S. state,

U.S. territory or U.S. possession where the merchandise is destined, as known at the time of entry

summary filing. This information is reported by the importer. See the Data Quality section above for

limitations of this data series.

Value (Exports). The export values in this report are f.a.s. (“free alongside ship”) and include both domestic

exports and re-exports of foreign merchandise. Several different values are given:

Total export value: The total value includes all transactions whether or not linked to specific

companies.

Known value: The value of transactions linked to specific companies. All percentages given for

company size and types are based on known value.

Unidentified Value: The valued transactions that were not linked to a specific company. Note that

these shipments might have been exported either by identified companies or by other companies not

identified in the linking process.

Value (Imports). The import values in this report are customs import value. The Customs value is the value

of imports as appraised by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in accordance with the legal

requirements of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. This value is generally defined as the price actually

paid or payable for merchandise when sold for exportation to the United States, excluding U.S. import

duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to the United States.

The term "price actually paid or payable" means the total payment (whether direct or indirect, and

exclusive of any costs, charges, or expenses incurred for transportation, insurance, and related services

incident to the international shipment of the merchandise from the country of exportation to the place of

importation in the United States) made, or to be made, for imported merchandise by the buyer to, or for

the benefit, of the seller. The type of imports shown in this report is “general.” Please see the definition

for “General Imports” for more information. Several different values are given:

Total import value: The total value includes all transactions whether or not linked to specific

companies.

Known value: The value of transactions linked to specific companies. All percentages given for

company size and types are based on known value.

Unidentified Value: The valued transactions that were not linked to a specific company. Note that

these shipments might have been imported either by identified companies or by other companies not

identified in the linking process.

(1) Known value is defined as the portion of U.S. total exports that could be matched to specific companies.

(2) Small and Medium sized companies are defined as those companies with fewer than 500 employees, those with missing employment data,

nonemployers, and companies that reported annual payroll but did not report any employees on their payroll during specified period(s) in 2019.

(3) A 2-digit NAICS code is the most detailed NAICS available for some companies. A NAICS code such as “11X” implies that only 2 NAICS digits

have been defined (e.g, it is only know for certain that a company is classified within NAICS sector 11). “XXX” represents an unclassified company.

(1) Known value is defined as the portion of U.S. total exports that could be matched to specific companies.

(2) Small and Medium sized companies are defined as those companies with fewer than 500 employees, those with missing employment data,

nonemployers, and companies that reported annual payroll but did not report any employees on their payroll during specified period(s) in 2018.

(3) A 2-digit NAICS code is the most detailed NAICS available for some companies. A NAICS code such as “11X” implies that only 2 NAICS digits

have been defined (e.g, it is only know for certain that a company is classified within NAICS sector 11). “XXX” represents an unclassified company.

For information on partially defined NAICS codes, see the explanatory notes.

Note: This table is compiled using data from export trade information and the Business Register. For information on nonsampling
