Import Goods
   
   May import prices rose 2.3 percent and were up 7.9 percent between February and May, the 
largest three-month jump for the index since October 1990.  Import prices advanced 17.8 percent over 
the past year, which was the largest year-over-year rise since the index was first published in September 
1982.  Higher petroleum prices continued to be a major contributor to the advance in overall import 
prices, increasing 7.8 percent in May after rising 5.9 percent and 9.8 percent, respectively, in the prior 
two months.  Petroleum prices rose 68.8 percent for the year ended in May, the largest 12-month 
advance since the index was up 82.5 percent between February 2002 and February 2003.  Nonpetroleum 
prices also increased in May, although the 0.5 percent advance was modest compared to the 1.3 percent 
increase in April and the 1.2 percent rise in March.  The index was up 6.6 percent over the past year.         
   
   A 1.8 percent advance in the price index for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials led 
the May increase in nonpetroleum prices.  The May rise in nonpetroleum industrial supplies and 
materials prices followed a 3.4 percent advance in April and the index rose 17.0 percent over the 
previous 12 months.  Higher prices for natural gas, steelmaking materials, and iron and steel products 
were the largest contributors to the May advance.        

   Rising prices for capital goods, consumer goods, and foods, feeds, and beverages also factored 
into the rise in nonpetroleum prices.  Capital goods prices increased 0.3 percent in May after rising 0.9 
percent the previous month.  Consumer goods prices advanced 0.2 percent for the month and followed a 
0.7 percent increase in April.  The price index for foods, feeds, and beverages rose 1.0 percent in May, 
led by higher prices for meats and grains.   
   
   Prices for import automotive vehicles were unchanged in May following a 0.4 percent increase 
the previous month.  
 

Export Goods 

   Export prices continued to trend up in May, although the 0.3 percent increase was the smallest 
monthly advance since September 2007.  The index advanced 8.0 percent over the past year.  The price 
indexes for nonagricultural exports and agricultural exports each contributed to the overall increase in 
May export prices, moving up 0.4 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively.  The increase in agricultural 
prices followed a 2.1 percent downturn in April and was driven by higher prices for soybeans, 
vegetables, and meat which more than offset a 16.7 percent decline in wheat prices.  Agricultural prices 
rose 33.3 percent over the May 2007-2008 period.  Nonagricultural prices also increased over the past 12 
months, rising 5.7 percent.   
   
   The May advance in nonagricultural prices was led by a rise in prices for nonagricultural 
industrial supplies and materials which increased 1.1 percent in May after advancing 1.5 percent in 
April.  The increase was primarily driven by rising fuel prices, although higher prices for chemicals and 
some metals also contributed to the advance.    
   
   Each of the major finished goods price indexes either recorded modest increases in May or were 
unchanged.  Prices for automotive vehicles and consumer goods prices both rose 0.1 percent in May 
after increasing 0.4 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively, the previous month.  The price index for export 
capital goods was unchanged in May following a 0.4 percent advance the previous month.    

Imports by Locality of Origin 
	
   Rising petroleum prices in May led to higher prices for imports from Canada, the European 
Union, and Mexico.  Each index also recorded the largest annual increase since first being published in 
December 1990 for Canada and the European Union, and December 2003 for Mexico.  Import prices 
from Canada increased 3.1 percent in May and 21.2 percent over the past year.  Prices of imports from 
the European Union rose 0.8 percent for the month and 9.4 percent for the year ended in May.  The price 
index for imports from Mexico advanced 1.7 percent in May and 19.5 percent over the past 12 months.  
   
   Prices of imports from China continued to trend up in May, rising 0.6 percent for the month.  
Import prices from China also increased for the May 2007-2008 period, advancing 4.6 percent, the 
largest 12-month increase for the index since first being published in December 2003. 
    
   The price index of imports from Japan recorded no change in May after rising 0.3 percent the 
previous month.
   
   
Import and Export Services

   Led by higher Asian and Latin American-Caribbean fares, import air passenger fares increased 
1.3 percent in May following a 9.1 percent rise in April.  Overall import air passenger fares moved up 
13.7 percent for the year ended in May.  Export air passenger fares increased 1.7 percent in May, driven 
by rising European and Asian fares.  The index had declined 1.5 percent in April and rose 4.8 percent 
over the past 12 months.
	
   The price indexes for import air freight and export air freight each advanced 2.1 percent in May 
after increasing 4.2 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively, in April.  Both rises were primarily led by 
higher European air freight prices.  The price index of import air freight increased 15.9 percent over the 
past year while export air freight prices advanced 17.4 percent over the same period.

                                          TECHNICAL NOTE

Import and Export Merchandise and Services Price Indexes -- All indexes use a modified Laspeyres 
formula and are not seasonally adjusted.  Price indexes for merchandise goods are reweighted annually, 
with a two-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 http://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) include outputs such as manufactured plastic rather than inputs such as petroleum.  The 
NAICS classification structure also matches the classification system used by the PPI (Producer Price 
Index) to produce the NAICS primary products indexes.

Import Price Indexes -- Products have been 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 Indexes -- Products have been 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 -- The Import Air Passenger Fares Indexes are calculated from data obtained 
from a commercial airline reservation system.  These data exclude frequent flyer tickets and those sold 
by consolidators.  The Export Air Passenger Fares Indexes are calculated from data collected directly 
from airlines.  These data include frequent flyer tickets and those sold by consolidators.  Taxes and fees 
are excluded from both the Import and Export Air Passenger Fares Indexes.  The Air Freight Indexes are 
calculated from data collected directly from companies.  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 represent transactions between U.S. and foreign 
residents) and International (which represent transactions inbound to and outbound from the U.S.).  Fact 
sheets specifying detailed information for each services industry are available at http://www.bls.gov/mxp 
under "Publications and Other Documentation."

Import Indexes by Locality of Origin -- Prices used in these indexes are a subset of the data collected 
for the Import Price Indexes.  Beginning with January 2002, the indexes are defined by locality of origin 
using a nomenclature based upon the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).  
Nonmanufactured goods are defined as NAICS 11 and 21 and manufactured goods are defined as 
NAICS 31-33. 
 
Revision Policy -- To reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents, monthly data 
may be revised in each of the three months after original publication.  After three months, no further data 
revisions take place.  So, for example, data released in the January release will be subject to revision in 
the releases for February, March, and April.

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 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 National Income and Product Accounts, while 
International indexes are more appropriate for market analysis.  Merchandise and services indexes also 
can be used to study U.S. competitiveness and to compute price elasticities, and the merchandise import 
indexes by country or region of origin are useful in terms of trade analysis.

E-Mail Subscription -- The IPP news release is available through an e-mail subscription service at 
(http://www.bls.gov/mxp) or (http://www.bls.gov/bls/newsrels.htm).
 
Additional Information -- More detailed IPP data are available on the IPP home page at 
(http://www.bls.gov/mxp).  Flat Files and the FTP server are available for users requiring access to 
either a large volume of time series data or other IPP-related documentation. The FTP site can be 
accessed at ftp://ftp.bls.gov.   For technical assistance in using the BLS Internet site, send e-mail to
