		     U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES DATA UPDATE - DECEMBER 2025

U.S. import prices increased 0.1 percent in December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Prices for U.S. exports advanced 0.3 percent in December. Over the past year, import prices were
unchanged and export prices increased 3.1 percent.

Due to the compressed release schedule following the 2025 lapse in appropriations, the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics will update the Import and Export Price Indexes (MXP) website and database with December 
2025 data but will forgo a detailed news release. The MXP database can be found at 
www.bls.gov/mxp/data/. Associated charts and supplemental tables for December 2025 can be found at 
www.bls.gov/news.release/ximpim.toc.htm.

	      Impacts of Federal Government Shutdowns on U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes

As a result of the lapse in appropriations from October 1, 2025, through November 12, 2025, some U.S. 
Import and Export Price Index (MXP) values for October 2025 are permanently suppressed for publication. 
For additional information see www.bls.gov/mxp/notices/2026/availability-of-oct-2025-mxpi-in-bls-database.htm.

The effects of the 2025 government shutdown will continue to delay publication of MXP data releases. 
Revised MXP release dates will be posted at www.bls.gov/bls/2025-lapse-revised-release-dates.htm as they 
become available. 

The lapse in appropriations from January 31, 2026, through February 3, 2026, did not affect data collection 
for price indexes.
