The percentage values represent the percentage of all exports from a given country that goes to the buyer (the country in parentheses). Therefore, the United States buys 87.6% of Mexico's exports.

While the CIA World Factbook lists the United States as purchasing 97.6% of Lesotho's exports in 2003 (the most recent data available), that appears to be an error as in previous years, the South African Customs Union bought more than 50% of Lesotho's exports.

Source of Data: CIA World Factbook, most data from 2003. Only independent nations are listed.
