The North & west together supplied nearly half of all US exports.
This link shows the change in US exports from 1860 to 1861.
As you might expect, Southern exports fell by $161 million while Northern exports rose by $62 million.
But it's important to note these lists can be skewed, and we see that by comparing cotton to tobacco.
The South's number one export, Cotton, is 100% a product of the Deep South, and so cotton exports fell over 80% from 1860 to 1861.
By contrast, the South's #2 export, tobacco fell only 15%, why?
Because tobacco was grown not only in the South, but also in the North & West, so loss of Southern tobacco reduced total US tobacco exports by only 15%.
But this example shows that tobacco as a "product of the South" is mis-categorized, because only 15% came from "the South".
As for Northern exports, the largest volumes were manufactured iron & copper, leather goods, candles, furniture, soap & medicinal drugs.
Western exports included wheat, flour, corn, rye, oats, livestock products, wood products & whale oil.
