***Next door neighbors are always #1 trading partners... mexico and canada are usa's #2 and #1 partners...  I'd expect that 90% to be heavily USA commodity sauces made in canada for usa tax avoidance... note prices paid to Canada...  smaller countries are premium buyers...  korea and philippines prolly fish sauces...   the other countries are interesting...***
New Zealand decreased to 99% in 2013 from a high of 123% in 2012 and Australia is accelerating.
***Yes, but good prices to both...***
When sending the letters to the Canadian suppliers, should the letter be folded in a small envelope or sent in a large envelope?
***In USA we call it the #10 envelope....  here is how...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5gelIkXXLg
