The former Commerce web site will continue to exist for the next several months as resources are moved to new web site locations. We will make every attempt possible to direct our users to the new locations as web resources are moved.

Wisconsin Exports and Exporters

Exporters are not required to report information on their international activities to the Wisconsin Department of Commerce.  Data on the state's exports by product category and by destination originates with the U.S. Census Bureau.  Click here for Wisconsin's top 10 export markets and the top 10 products shipped abroad.

The Wisconsin Department of Commerce has launched Wisconsin Exporters Online, a searchable database that links suppliers in Wisconsin with buyers in other countries.  The service is offered in partnership with The Export Yellow Pages™, the official export directory of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Through surveys and direct contact with exporters, our staff tries to track who ships what where.  Since not every firm volunteers information, our lists are not exhaustive.  One firm may have made one shipment to a market several years ago, reported it to us, and appears in our lists.  Another firm may regularly ship container-loads of product to that same market, but since they never informed us, they never appear on our lists.  If you would like to purchase a list of exporters by country, you can obtain additional information from Stanley Pfrang, ph: (608) 267-0639.
