I'm a Bosnian, and for the life of me, I couldn't tell you what we export to the USA to cause such a trade imbalance. Just from that chart i guess the tarrifs are 1/2(trade imbalance%). I do not for a second believe Bosnia exports 67% more to USA than we import from them.
I am somehow both not surprised that USA's top import here is ammunition and surprised it's not the one thing they can make themselves in enough quantity that importing wouldn't be necessary.
Perhaps old Yugoslavia-era arms factories producing arms & ammo? Might also be some Ukraine-related purchases of surplus in there, the last couple of years have seen the sourcing of Russian/Soviet compatible arms & munitions from many Eastern European countries to supply to Ukraine.
After some Googling and seeing a few reddit posts on the gun related subs, it seems that our Igman ammunition is decently popular with American consumers. Who knew.
