Searching for public data regarding Tesla exports from the US I finally discovered the obvious'
There is no code for BEV's, but there is this:
Passenger Motor Vehicles, Nesoi HS Code 870390
NESOI- Not Elsewhere Specified Or Indicated
That is the wonderful place where motor vehicles that do not meet any predefined categories of spark or compression ignition are placed. This category has been populated for years, covering mostly things like GEM and other road going low speed urban electric golf-cart like things.
What I discovered was that suddenly this data category showed huge growth in 2008, with a new exporting state appearing. California was that state. OK, it could have been several things, but suddenly two countries showed up in the top Importers from the US. No extra points for guessing them: China and Norway.
What Nesoi suddenly began to be exported from California in such significance that they dwarfed all other states and changed the rank order of importing countries while rising total US exports?
My source has been Flexport because it is easiest to use of all the available sources, in my opinion anyway. It might be just that I am accustomed to them.
