Imports and Exports
How would you feel about the businesses in the United States that are buying or selling to countries that have a high amount of exports and imports?

The top importers kind of hold steady with the same countries however they do change up just a little. United States (2336), China (1818), Germany (1167), Japan (866) and United Kingdom (690). From these statistics we can see that both China and the United States are leaders in both import and exports.

After searching the list of companies that could possibly supply dinner cruise business with Australian wine, I came up with
