What is absent, and why: how much of each export is Mexican. A large share of these exports are made under the IMMEX programme with imported parts; gross exports count the whole value, so a big chapter is not the same as a big local industry. Services exports are not counted here. Exports by state are published only by sector (see Exports by state), never by partner or product.
