Exports

Exports: that stuff sent out of the country. Exports are the opposite of imports, which represent the stuff that other countries send here.

The U.S., for instance, exports a serious load of agricultural products. So U.S. farmers grow wheat on their U.S. farms (amber waves of grain nurtured from good ol' red-white-and-blue American soil). Then they sell that wheat overseas to places like Monaco and Liechtenstein and Liberia and the like...wheatless places. So the wheat gets sent out of the country and sold somewhere else, becoming an export (i.e. no longer in our port boundaries).
