Higher nonfuel prices in April offset lower fuel prices. Prices for U.S. exports advanced 0.6 percent in April following a 4.1-percent increase the previous month. Imports The price index for U.S. imports was unchanged in April, after rising 6.8 percent over the first quarter of 2022. U.S. import prices have not recorded a monthly decline since the index fell 0.4 percent in December 2021. Prices for U.S. imports advanced 12.0 percent for the year ended in April, down from the 13.0-percent increase recorded last month. (See table 1.) Fuel Imports: Import fuel prices declined 2.4 percent in April following a 39.2-percent increase from December to March. The decrease in April was the first 1-month drop since the index fell 7.7 percent in December 2021. Lower petroleum prices in April more than offset higher natural gas prices. Despite the decrease in April, import fuel prices rose 64.3 percent over the past 12 months. Petroleum prices fell 2.9 percent in April, after advancing 19.4 percent the previous month. In contrast, natural gas prices increased 6.8 percent in April following a 9.5-percent decline in March. Petroleum and natural gas prices rose over the past year, advancing 63.0 percent and 102.2 percent, respectively. All Imports Excluding Fuel: Prices for nonfuel imports increased 0.4 percent in April following advances of 1.2 percent, 0.9 percent, and 1.4 percent the 3 previous months. Nonfuel import prices have not recorded a 1-month drop since the index decreased 0.2 percent in November 2020. Higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials; capital goods; foods, feeds, and beverages; and automotive vehicles all contributed to the April increase in nonfuel import prices. The price index for nonfuel imports rose on a 12- month basis, advancing 7.2 percent. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Foods, feeds, and beverages prices increased 0.9 percent in April, after rising 0.4 percent in March. Prices for foods, feeds, and beverages have not recorded a monthly decline since the index fell 0.1 percent in November 2021; the index advanced 12.1 percent for the year ended in April. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: Prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials rose 0.6 percent in April following a 4.6-percent advance in March. Higher prices in April for steelmaking materials, fertilizer, and steel mill products more than offset lower prices for unfinished building materials and precious metals. Finished Goods: Prices for most of the major finished goods categories increased in April. Import capital goods prices advanced 0.4 percent for the second consecutive month and the index increased 3.8 percent for the year ended in April. The 12-month rise in capital goods prices was the largest over-the-year advance since September 1992. The price index for automotive vehicles also increased in April, rising 0.3 percent following a 0.1-percent advance in March.

Exports U.S. export prices rose 0.6 percent in April following a 10.5-percent advance from December to March. Higher prices for both agricultural and nonagricultural exports contributed to the overall increase in U.S. export prices in April. The price index for U.S. exports rose 18.0 percent over the past year. (See table 2.) Agricultural Exports: The price index for agricultural exports advanced 1.1 percent in April, after increasing 4.3 percent the previous month. Agricultural export prices have not declined on a monthly basis since September 2021. Higher prices in April for corn, cotton, meat, and nuts more than offset lower prices for wheat and soybeans. Prices for agricultural exports rose 20.9 percent from April 2021 to April 2022, led by higher prices for wheat, soybeans, corn, cotton, and meat. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: Prices for nonagricultural exports advanced 0.5 percent in April following increases of 4.1 percent in March, 3.3 percent in February, and 2.8 percent in January. In April, higher prices for capital goods; nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials; automotive vehicles; and consumer goods all contributed to the rise in nonagricultural export prices. The price index for nonagricultural exports advanced 17.6 percent for the year ended in April, led by higher nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices. Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices increased 0.4 percent in April following a 20.7-percent advance from December to March. Higher prices for chemicals and nonferrous metals more than offset a 1.3-percent drop in fuel prices. Despite the April decline, export fuel prices rose 72.8 percent over the past year. Finished Goods: Prices for each of the major finished goods categories advanced in April. Capital goods prices increased 0.9 percent following consecutive 0.4-percent advances in March and February and a 0.9- percent rise in January. Prices for export capital goods increased 5.1 percent for the year ended in April, the largest 12-month advance since September 1982. The price index for automotive vehicles rose 0.8 percent in April and consumer goods prices advanced 0.5 percent for the same period.

Terms of Trade Indexes: Terms of trade indexes are based on country, region, or grouping and measure the change in the purchasing power of exports relative to imports. U.S. terms of trade with China declined 0.5 percent in April, after rising 9.0 percent from December to March. Higher import prices from China and decreasing export prices to China each contributed to the April drop in the U.S. terms of trade. Despite the April decline, the index for U.S. terms of trade with China rose 9.4 percent from April 2021 to April 2022. U.S. terms of trade with Japan advanced 0.4 percent in April following a 4.2-percent increase in March.

Higher Latin American/Caribbean fares in April offset declining Asian and European fares. Export air passenger fares rose 9.7 percent for the year ended in April. Export air freight prices were unchanged in April, after advances of 4.6 percent and 6.3 percent the previous 2 months. Prices for export air freight have not recorded a 1-month decline since July 2021 and rose 23.3 percent over the past year. The April 12-month advance was the largest over-the-year increase since the index rose 23.7 percent in August 2008.

NOTES: Data may be revised in each of the 3 months after original publication. |
TECHNICAL NOTE Import and Export Goods and Services Price Indexes - All indexes use a modified Laspeyres formula and are not seasonally adjusted. Price indexes are reweighted annually, with a 2-year lag in the weights. Published series use a base year of 2000=100 where possible. More detailed index series and additional information may be obtained at www.bls.gov/mxp or by calling (202) 691-7101. Merchandise Goods Classification Systems - The merchandise price indexes are published using three classification systems. Items are classified by end use according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis Classification System, by industry according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), and by product category according to the Harmonized System (HS). While classification by end use and product category are self-explanatory, some notes are in order for classifying items by industry. In the NAICS imports and exports tables, items are classified by output industry, not input industry. As an example, NAICS import index 326 (plastics and rubber products manufacturing) includes outputs such as manufactured plastic rather than inputs such as petroleum. The NAICS classification structure also matches the classification system used by the Producer Price Index (PPI) to produce the NAICS primary products indexes. Import Price Goods Indexes - Items are classified by the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (TSUSA). Import prices are based on U.S. dollar prices paid by the U.S. importer. The prices are generally either "free on board" (f.o.b.) foreign port or "cost, insurance, and freight" (c.i.f.) U.S. port transaction prices, depending on the practices of the individual industry. The index for crude petroleum is calculated from data collected by the U.S. Department of Energy. Export Price Goods Indexes - Items are classified by the Harmonized Schedule B classification system of the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The prices used are generally either "free alongside ship" (f.a.s.) factory or "free on board" (f.o.b.) transaction prices, depending on the practices of the individual industry. Prices used in the grain index, excluding rice, are obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Services Price Indexes - Indexes for import and export air passenger fares calculate changes in the average revenue received per passenger by foreign carriers from U.S. residents and by U.S. carriers from foreign residents, respectively. Data are obtained from an airline consulting service and report on tickets sold by travel agencies, travel websites, and directly by the airlines. Taxes and fees are included in both the import and export air passenger fares indexes. Import air passenger fares data have used the airline consulting service source since September 2008. Before April 2018, the export air passenger fares data were collected directly by BLS from U.S. airlines. The air freight indexes are calculated from data collected directly from airlines. These data exclude mail and passenger baggage. The scope of the service being priced is the movement of freight from airport to airport only, and does not include any ground transportation or port service. The air freight indexes are presented using two definitions: balance of payments (which represents transactions between U.S. and foreign residents) and international (which represents transactions inbound to and outbound from the United States.) Fact sheets specifying detailed information for each services industry are available at www.bls.gov/mxp under "MXP Publications." Import Price Indexes by Locality of Origin - Prices used in these indexes are a subset of the data collected for the import price indexes. The indexes are specific to a country, region, or grouping and, beginning with January 2002, are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) covering goods-producing industries. Nonmanufactured goods are defined as NAICS 11 and 21, and manufactured goods are defined as NAICS 31-33. Export Price Indexes by Locality of Destination - Prices used in these indexes are a subset of the data collected for the export price indexes. The indexes are specific to a country, region, or grouping and are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) covering goods-producing industries. Nonmanufactured goods are defined as NAICS 11 and 21, and manufactured goods are defined as NAICS 31-33. Terms of Trade Indexes - Terms of trade indexes measure the relative price of exports in terms of import prices for a specific country, region, or grouping. The indexes are calculated as one country, region, or grouping's all-export goods price index divided by the corresponding all-import goods price index on a scale of 100. Relative Importance - A relative importance is a specific index's price-updated value share (expressed as a percentage) of overall imports or exports at a specific point in time. Relative importance values are affected by the trade weights at the point indexes are reweighted and index changes relative to other indexes since the reweight point. If an index is rising in value relative to other indexes over time, the relative importance will increase as well. Revision Policy - To reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents, monthly data may be revised in each of the 3 months after original publication. After 3 months, no further data revisions take place. For example, data first published in the January release will be subject to revision in the releases for February, March, and April. Rounding Policy - Index values are rounded to the tenth decimal place after being calculated. All percent changes are then derived from the rounded index values and subsequently rounded to the tenth decimal place. Uses of the Data - The primary use of the indexes is to deflate trade statistics, notably the foreign trade sector of the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) constructed by the Department of Commerce. Other published indexes are useful for general market analysis. For trade in international services, balance of payments indexes are used for deflating NIPA, while international indexes are more appropriate for market analysis.
