 Tempered
Glass Imports and Exports Remain Strong, says Census Bureau
The U.S. Bureau of the Census has released import-export values
for tempered safety glass.
While imports from Canada were slightly less in June compared to
May, the country remains the highest ranked of those from which
the United States imported tempered safety glass. Imports from Peru
grew from $20,621 in May to $52,658 in June, while Mexican imports
dropped from a value of $84,098 in May to $5,908 in June.
In terms of exports, Canada remains the highest exporter, bringing
in nearly $3 million in tempered safety glass. Germany follows,
bringing in more than $2.5 million in June.
