This number then continued to decrease with a lesser extent to the end of the period, at about 18%. In addition, the US experienced a fluctuation around 15% over the first decade, prior to hitting the low of about 8% in 2010, and finished at 10%.
Regarding the remaining categories, imports from Australia to India accounted for the lowest initially, at only approximately 2%.
