On September 4, 2012, the International Trade Administration (ITA) Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) published an Export Guide for Textile and Apparel, "Going Global" which reports on 15 of the of the largest textile and apparel export markets for the U.S., and the five fastest growing markets for textiles and apparel.

The guide explains that "U.S. exporters are supplying yarns, fabrics, and finished products to mills, processors, assemblers, and consumers. The report provides economic and trade information for each of the 15 markets, as well as detailed data on export trends and processes. U.S. exporters of textiles and apparel can use this information to help determine which markets are most attractive and offer the greatest long-term growth opportunities."

Additionally, the guide includes information on each textile and apparel category classified under the Harmonized System. The report is scheduled to be updated annually.
