Survey response rates for April 2021 were 2.3-percentage points lower than those in April 2020. Additional information is available at www.bls.gov/covid19/import-export-price-indexes-covid19-impacts-april-2021.htm. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Imports The price index for U.S. imports continued to rise in April, advancing 0.7 percent. The April increase followed advances of 1.4 percent in March, 1.2 percent in February, and 1.5 percent in January. In April, a 0.7-percent rise in nonfuel import prices and a 0.5-percent increase in fuel prices both contributed to the overall advance. U.S. import prices rose 10.6 percent from April 2020 to April 2021, the largest over-the- year increase for the index since an 11.1-percent advance for the year ended October 2011. (See table 1.) Fuel Imports: Prices for import fuel rose 0.5 percent in April, after increasing 7.5 percent in March, 11.0 percent in February, and 9.0 percent in January. In April, increasing petroleum prices more than offset decreasing natural gas prices. The price index for import petroleum rose 1.2 percent in April following an 8.4-percent increase the previous month. Prices for import natural gas declined 12.1 percent in April, after a 4.8-percent drop in March. The April decrease was the largest decline since the index fell 14.7 percent in October 2020. Import fuel prices advanced 126.5 percent over the past year, the largest 12-month increase for the index since a 145.1-percent rise for the year ended in February 2000. Prices for petroleum and natural gas also advanced for the year ended in April, rising 133.7 percent and 59.6 percent, respectively. All Imports Excluding Fuel: Import prices excluding fuel increased 0.7 percent in April following a 0.9- percent advance the previous month. Higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials; foods, feeds, and beverages; capital goods; and automotive vehicles all contributed to the April rise in nonfuel import prices. Prices for nonfuel imports advanced 5.0 percent over the past 12 months, the largest over-the- year increase since the index rose 5.4 percent in September 2011. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: The price index for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials advanced 2.4 percent in April, after increasing 4.0 percent in March. The April rise was driven by higher prices for building materials, chemicals, and unfinished metals. Finished Goods: Prices for most of the major finished goods categories advanced in April. Capital goods prices increased 0.3 percent, the largest advance since the index rose 0.3 percent in February 2018. Prices for automotive vehicles increased 0.2 percent in April following 0.1-percent advances the previous 2 months. Consumer goods prices recorded no change in April. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Foods, feeds, and beverages prices rose 2.0 percent in April, after increasing 2.1 percent the previous month. The April advance was led by higher fruit and meat prices.

Exports U.S. export prices rose 0.8 percent in April, after increasing 2.4 percent in March, 1.6 percent in February, and 2.7 percent in January. The price index for U.S. exports has not recorded a monthly decline since a 3.5- percent drop in April 2020. A 0.9-percent advance in nonagricultural prices and a 0.6-percent rise in agricultural prices both contributed to the April increase in U.S. export prices. Prices for U.S. exports rose 14.4 percent for the year ended in April, the largest 12-month increase since the index was first published in September 1983. (See table 2.) Agricultural Exports: The price index for agricultural exports advanced 0.6 percent in April following rises of 2.4 percent in March, 2.7 percent in February, and 6.0 percent in January. In April, higher prices for other animal feeds, meat, dairy products, and vegetables more than offset lower prices for wheat, nuts, fruit, and cotton. Agricultural export prices increased 25.2 percent for the year ended in April, the largest 12- month advance since the index rose 26.4 percent in July 2011. Higher prices for soybeans, corn, cotton, fruit, vegetables, and meat primarily drove the increase in agricultural exports over the past 12 months. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: Prices for nonagricultural exports advanced 0.9 percent in April, after increases of 2.4 percent, 1.5 percent, and 2.3 percent the previous 3 months. The rise in April was led by higher prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, and automotive vehicles which more than offset lower prices for consumer goods. Nonagricultural prices advanced 13.1 percent from April 2020 to April 2021, the largest over-the-year increase since the index was first published in March 1985. Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices rose 1.8 percent in April following a 6.0-percent advance the previous month. The April increase was driven by a 6.9-percent rise in chemical prices which more than offset a 1.9-percent drop in fuel prices. Finished Goods: Prices for the major finished goods categories were mostly up in April. Capital goods prices advanced 0.3 percent in April, after increasing 0.2 percent in March. The April rise was led by higher prices for industrial and service machinery and computers, peripherals, and semiconductors. The price index for automotive vehicles advanced 0.2 percent in April following a 0.1-percent increase the previous month. In contrast, consumer goods prices edged down 0.1 percent in April. Measures of Import and Export Prices by Locality Imports by Locality of Origin: Import prices from China rose 0.4 percent in April, after advancing 1.5 percent from November to March. Prices for imports from China increased 2.1 percent for the year ended in April, the largest 12-month advance since a 2.6-percent rise in March 2012.

U.S. terms of trade with China rose 0.2 percent in April following a 3.4-percent advance the previous month. In April, increasing export prices to China more than offset rising import prices from China. The index for U.S. terms of trade with China advanced 13.6 percent from April 2020 to April 2021, the largest 12-month increase since the index was first published in December 2017. In contrast, U.S. terms of trade with Japan declined 0.4 percent in April, the first monthly decrease since the index fell 3.4 percent in April 2020. The index for U.S. terms of trade with Canada rose 0.2 percent in April, after falling 2.8 percent in March. In April, U.S. terms of trade advanced 1.8 percent with Mexico and 0.1 percent with the European Union. (See table 9.) Import and Export Services Imports: The index for import air passenger fares advanced 0.9 percent in April, after decreasing 3.6 percent in March. In April, higher European and Latin American/Caribbean fares more than offset falling Asian fares. Import air passenger fares rose 8.0 percent over the past year, the first 12-month increase since the index advanced 1.2 percent in January 2019. Import air freight prices increased 8.3 percent in April following a 1.9-percent drop in March. The April advance was the largest rise since a 9.8-percent increase in November 2020, and import air freight prices rose 28.0 percent over the past 12 months. (See table 10.) Exports: Export air passenger fares rose 0.2 percent in April, after declining 1.5 percent in March and 4.7 percent in February. The index for export air passenger fares increased 26.9 percent over the past 12 months, the largest over-the-year advance since a 30.5-percent rise in July 2010. Prices for export air freight fell 2.8 percent in April. Despite the decrease, export air freight prices increased 0.6 percent over the past year. U.S. Import and Export Price Index data for May are scheduled for release on Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. (ET).

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.
