Definitions: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have fewer than
500 employees. Small firms have fewer than 100 employees.
Medium-sized firms have from 100 to 499 employees. Large firms have 500
or more employees.
Notes: Figures include only identifiable or "known" exports--i.e.,
exports that can be linked to individual companies using information on
U.S.
export declarations. Because firms sometimes export from more than one location,
exporter counts cannot be summed to arrive at a U.S. total.
Exporters are allocated to states on an "Origin of Moveent" basis
- i.e. an exporter is credited to a state when it ships export goods from
that
state to a port or other exit point from the United States.
