1. What does the US import the most from Canada?
Energy leads the pack — crude oil, natural gas, and electricity constitute the largest portion of imports. These fuels power American power plants, fill stations, and industry. Additionally, US imports Canadian food. Canada's stable production and geographical proximity make it the US's first choice for these vital commodities.

2. What does the US rely on Canada for?
The US relies largely on Canada for more than energy alone. Automotive components from Canadian plants supply US assembly lines, minerals enhance manufacturing, and agricultural commodities stock supermarket shelves. This border-to-border supply is reliable and less susceptible to the long lead times or political turmoil that plague other suppliers.

3. What foods does the U.S. imports from Canada?
US imports of Canadian products consist of Alberta beef, Atlantic sea fishery products, British Columbia fresh fruits and vegetables, and value-added baked foods from large food processing companies. Specialty and seasonal products are also exported south, making US consumers enjoy year-round access to products that otherwise would be too expensive or not available.

4. Does the US import more from Canada than it exports?
The balance of trade varies from year to year, but US imports from Canada tend to exceed exports by a narrow margin. This is partly because Canada export to US so much energy product, which has considerable total value relative to much of the other products in the mix of trade.

5. What US states import the most from Canada?
Those with good industrial bases and geographical destination top the list. Michigan imports car parts for its car plants, New York exchanges heavily in both energy and merchandise, Illinois and Ohio import manufacturing inputs, and California imports food products and packaged goods.
