Tennessee is a major Southeast manufacturing and logistics hub with a strong export base in transportation equipment, chemicals, and industrial machinery. The state hosts significant automotive assembly operations from Nissan and Volkswagen, making vehicles and auto parts key export commodities. Tennessee's central location and extensive highway and rail network make it a critical distribution point for both domestic and international trade.
Tennessee's leading exports include transportation equipment and automotive parts, chemicals and plastics, industrial machinery, medical devices, and processed food products, supported by a large manufacturing base.
Tennessee exporters primarily use the Port of Memphis on the Mississippi River for bulk cargo, while containerized goods typically move through the Port of Charleston, Port of Savannah, or Port of New Orleans. Memphis is also a major air cargo hub through FedEx's global operations.
Tennessee's top trading partners include Canada, Mexico, Germany, China, and Japan, with automotive, chemical, and machinery exports driving the majority of international trade activity.
