What are the top imports and exports of Switzerland?
Switzerland is a highly developed economy. Raw materials and finished goods are imported from around the world. Foodstuffs (meat, vegetables) is partially supplied from Swiss farms, and partially imported. Import duties protect the Swiss farmers, with the result that food is more expensive than in surrounding countries. This is particularly apparent in Dairy products (Milk, cheese), which are in a protected market. There are no car manufacturers in Switzerland all cars are imported. Logitech is a famous Swiss manufacturer of computer accessories (mice, keyboards). Most computers are imported. Manufactured gods, both household and industrial, are an important part of Switzerland's economy. These are competitively traded with other countries, and are an important export. Switzerland specialises in high value goods, e.g. pharmaceuticals and quality engineering, both of which are exported.

What is the significance of wartime goods produced in NC?
North Carolina had a booming textile industry at the time of WWII. This industry produced all sorts of uniform items and cloth equipment items for the various branches of the service. The world's largest blanket factory, Beacon Blanket Factory near Asheville made millions of blankets for the US Army. Also near Asheville, an almost new synthetic fiber factory at Enka, owned by the American Enka Corporation turned out nylon which was used in parachutes. Previously silk had been used for parachutes but silk was unobtainable during the war with Japan. The nylon was sewed into parachutes at Mills Manufacturing and numerous other sewing mills in NC. Both sides in WWII used a design for an automatic 20MM cannon licensed from the Swiss company Oerlikon. There was an Oerlikon factory near Asheville, in Swannanoa. The USS North Carolina, now a museum ship at Wilmington, has about eighty of these on its weather deck. I'm sure there was much more. Everybody smoked in WWII, and NC had a huge tobacco industry and several very large cigarette companies. Farm products, meat and produce, were needed by both civilians and the military. Traditional NC goods such as pine lumber, turpentine and pine tar continued to be important, as the military was vastly expanding and building new bases. The furniture industry was (and is) big in NC, and the furniture factories made gun stocks.
