Not that much man - there are the odd cars, but not many. There is a fair lump of farm produce - chicken etc, being exported to Russia.
But overall, there are only two commodities which are showing a trading surplus - wheat and arms - everything else runs a negative trading balance. Not sure of the year - think it's 1968 - that was the last year there was an actual trading surplus.
