But you can also say "by", as per Alex' suggestion - it's really a matter of taste, context and how much space there is....

by


Explanation:
While according to is not wrong, "by" would be simpler.

The second "nach" is translated as "to".

Indeed, if the \"den\" is left out in the second sentence, then \"by\" could be correct.

neutral  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): "by" ist korrekt, aber warum "to" im zweiten Falle? Da ist m.E. auch "by" anzuwenden. Du brauchst nur das "den" wegzulassen (wohl versehendlich reingerutscht), also "nach Ländern".
23 mins
  -> Wieso? -> "by the countries" ??? Wer ist da reingerutscht?
disagree  David Moore (X): If "nach" in the second case meant "to", then the countries' names would be shown.
47 mins
  -> The countries may follow in other parts of the context.
agree  Trudy Peters: by in both cases. Or "arranged by," unless, of course, the countries ARE mentioned :-)

  -> Excellent suggestion. Thanks!
agree  TonyTK: with Trudy - but the German looks strange to me ("nach den Ländern")

agree  TonyTK: with the caveat that I've never seen the phrase "Exporte nach den Ländern" on its own like that.
