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.
West Virginia's primary exports are coal and related energy products, industrial chemicals, primary metals such as steel and aluminum, and fabricated metal products.
West Virginia relies primarily on rail networks to transport bulk commodities, especially coal, to Atlantic seaports in Virginia (Hampton Roads) and Maryland (Baltimore) for loading onto international vessels.
West Virginia's top export destinations include India, Brazil, the Netherlands, and Japan, largely driven by demand for metallurgical and thermal coal as well as chemical products.
