West Virginia's trade profile is heavily shaped by its energy and natural resources sector, with coal remaining a significant export commodity shipped via rail to Atlantic seaports for international markets. The state also exports chemicals, primary metals, and fabricated metal products tied to its industrial base. West Virginia's landlocked geography means it depends on rail corridors and neighboring state ports, particularly in Virginia and Maryland, for international cargo movement.
