We had a $3 billion trade surplus with them in 2004, according to the USTR. Reuters reported $7 billion, but I don't believe it.

Looks like we send them machinery, aircraft, vehicles and electrical machinery.
They send us mineral fuel and woven apparel.

Best that it was explained to me, toothpaste and Egyptian tapestries. Probably there are some high technology fiber optic components. Glass is made from sand and heat.
