Hi dunfermline. I had a look on line and couldn;t find much about the export. I did find an article on how hard they are finding it, breaking into the American market. India is one of the biggest according to another article. Good luck with it.

Hi, of you google harris tweed shop, newtonmore there is a site there with a lot
of comments from around the world of people who have brought harris tweed, I hope to get up to this shop for some winter tweeds, I have an harris tweed hat which I brought in 1982. (cost a weeks wage give or take a quid or two) when I visited France they certainly sold harris tweed there a few years ago and a hat like mine cost over £60.... I was visiting and stayed at Nevers where the shrine of St Bernadette and the nun pointed to my Harris tweed hat and said Scotch wool.... I then showed her the label inside the hat and said yes scotch wool. I was amazed a french nun would even conside it was a special wool.
