'''Exports''' are the goods your [[dwarves]] trade to the outside world via [[caravan]] trade, in exchange for the goods offered by the caravans. Any object your dwarves have (except legendary [[Legendary artifact|artifacts]]) can be traded, but it is obviously sensible to trade out useless, inferior, or surplus items, like [[crafts]] or captured [[clothes]] your dwarves can't wear.

The total [[value]] of '''exported wealth''' can be seen on the [[status]] screen, if your [[broker]] is at least a novice [[appraiser]].    Only objects that your dwarves have made (or decorated*) ''themselves'' count toward EW.  Trading away goblin clothing and armor, or items previously acquired from caravans does '''not''' count toward EW*.  Exporting a large value of goods is believed to attract larger caravans in future. The exported wealth of a current trade session is added to the value in the status window as soon as the caravan has left the screen.

Dwarven and [[Human]] caravans are accompanied by a trade [[liaison]] or guild representative. The liaison will meet with your [[broker]] or [[leader]] to negotiate a [[trade agreement]]. When the caravan returns the following year, they will pay a higher price for the goods they requested (as well as charge you a higher price for the goods you requested).
