In June, a drop in nonfuel prices more than offset increasing fuel prices. The price index for U.S. exports edged down 0.1 percent in June, after a 0.5 percent decrease the previous month. Imports All Imports: Import prices fell 0.2 percent in June following decreases of 0.7 percent in May, 0.6 percent in April, and 0.1 percent in March. Unlike the May and April declines where lower fuel prices contributed to the decreases, the June drop resulted solely from lower nonfuel prices. Despite the decline over the past four months, overall import prices rose 0.2 percent for the year ended in June following a 1.9 percent decrease from May 2012 to May 2013. Fuel Imports: Import fuel prices ticked up 0.1 percent in June following a 1.9 percent drop in May and a 2.4 percent decline in April. The June rise was led by a 0.2 percent advance in petroleum prices, following a 2.0 percent drop the previous month. In contrast, natural gas prices decreased 1.2 percent in June. Prices for import fuel rose 4.6 percent over the past year, after falling 11.5 percent between June 2011 and June 2012. A 2.9 percent rise in petroleum prices and a 93.3 percent advance in natural gas prices each contributed to the 12-month increase in fuel prices. All Imports Excluding Fuel: In contrast to fuel prices, nonfuel prices continued to decline in June, falling 0.3 percent, after decreases of 0.3 percent in May, 0.2 percent in April, and 0.1 percent in March. In June, lower prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials; foods, feeds, and beverages; and each of the major finished goods categories all contributed to the overall decline in nonfuel prices. The price index for nonfuel imports fell 1.0 percent over the past year, primarily driven by a 4.2 percent drop in nonfuel industrial supplies and materials prices. Table A.

Exports All Exports: U.S. export prices edged down 0.1 percent in June following declines of 0.5 percent, 0.7 percent, and 0.5 percent the three previous months. In June, decreasing nonagricultural prices more than offset an increase in the price index for agricultural exports. Overall export prices increased 0.8 percent for the year ended in June, after decreasing 0.9 percent for the year ended in May. Agricultural Exports: Agricultural prices advanced 0.6 percent in June following a 1.1 percent increase in May. The June rise was led by a 5.3 percent advance in soybean prices, a 2.3 percent increase in corn prices, and a 4.7 percent rise in nut prices. Prices for agricultural exports increased 9.3 percent between June 2012 and June 2013. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: The price index for nonagricultural exports declined 0.2 percent in June, driven by a 0.5 percent drop in nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices. The June decline followed decreases of 0.7 percent in May and 0.5 percent in April. Nonagricultural prices also fell for the year ended in June, declining 0.3 percent. SELECTED JUNE HIGHLIGHTS Import Prices Imports by Locality of Origin: Import prices from Japan continued to fall in June, declining 0.5 percent. Prices for imports from Japan have decreased 2.2 percent over the first half of 2013, and have paralleled the drop in the value of the yen compared to the U.S. dollar. The price index for imports from China edged down 0.1 percent for the third consecutive month in June, and has not recorded a monthly advance since February 2012. Import prices from China fell 1.0 percent over the past 12 months. Prices for imports from Mexico, Canada, and the European Union also decreased in June, falling 0.5 percent, 0.2 percent, and 0.1 percent, respectively. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: The price index for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials declined 1.0 percent in June following a 1.3 percent drop in May. In June, a 1.7 percent drop in unfinished metals prices was the largest contributor to the decline. Building materials prices also fell in June, down 3.4 percent, led by lower lumber prices. Finished Goods: Each of the major finished goods categories recorded decreases in June. Automotive vehicles prices fell 0.3 percent, driven by a 0.6 percent decline in parts prices. The price indexes for consumer goods and capital goods both edged down 0.1 percent. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Foods, feeds, and beverages prices declined 1.2 percent in June, after rising 0.4 percent in May. The June decrease was led by a 7.0 percent drop in fruit prices. Lower coffee and vegetable prices also contributed to the decline. Transportation Services: Import air passenger fares rose 10.7 percent in June following increases of 2.0 percent in May and 0.3 percent in April. The June advance was driven by a 14.6 percent jump in European fares and an 11.4 percent rise in Asian fares. The recent increases led import air passenger fares up 2.9 percent over the past year. In contrast, import air freight prices fell 0.3 percent in June and 3.8 percent over the past 12 months. Export Prices Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials decreased 0.5 percent in June, after a 1.7 percent decline the previous month. The drop was driven by a 2.5 percent decrease in nonferrous metals prices; lower chemicals prices were also a contributing factor. Finished Goods: The major finished goods categories recorded little price movement in June; consumer goods prices fell 0.1 percent, and the price indexes for capital goods and automotive vehicles were both unchanged, after each of the major finished goods categories edged down 0.1 percent in May. Transportation Services: Export air passenger fares increased 2.1 percent in June following a 6.0 percent advance in May. The June increase was driven by a 16.4 percent rise in European fares. Despite the recent increases, export air passenger fares fell 3.6 percent for the year ended in June. Export air freight prices declined 0.9 percent in June and 1.1 percent over the past year. Import and Export Price Index data for July 2013 are scheduled for release on Tuesday, August 13, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).

NOTES: Data may be revised in each of the three months after original publication. |
TECHNICAL NOTE Import and Export Merchandise and Services Price Indexes -- All indexes use a modified Laspeyres formula and are not seasonally adjusted. Price indexes 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 -- Starting in September 2008 the Import Air Passenger Fares Indexes represent changes in the average revenue per passenger received by foreign carriers from U.S. residents and are calculated from data obtained from an airline consulting service. These data include tickets sold by travel agencies and travel websites. Tickets sold directly by the airlines are excluded, as are frequent flyer tickets generally. Starting in January 2008 the Export Air Passenger Fares Indexes represent changes in the average revenue per passenger received by U.S. carriers from foreign residents and are calculated from data collected directly from airlines. These data include frequent flyer tickets and those sold by consolidators. Taxes and fees are included in the Import Air Passenger Fares Index and excluded from the Export Air Passenger Fares Index. 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 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 "MXP Publications." 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 U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes news release is available through an e-mail subscription service at (http://www.bls.gov/bls/list.htm). Additional Information -- More detailed data are available on the Import/Export Price Indexes 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 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 (labstat.helpdesk@bls.gov). For Import/Export Price Index data requests, send e-mail to (mxpinfo@bls.gov).
