The corrected data have been issued with this news release.) U.S. import prices decreased 0.4 percent in June, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today, following a 0.9-percent advance in May. Lower prices for nonfuel and fuel imports contributed to the June decline. Prices for U.S. exports rose 0.3 percent in June, after rising 0.6 percent the previous month. Imports All Imports: The price index for U.S. imports fell 0.4 percent in June, after increasing 0.9 percent in May and 0.5 percent in April. The June decline was the largest monthly drop since the index decreased 0.5 percent in February 2016. Despite the downturn in June, overall import prices advanced 4.3 percent between June 2017 and June 2018. Fuel Imports: Import fuel prices decreased 0.7 percent in June, after a 6.1-percent advance in May and a 3.9-percent rise in April. Falling prices for both petroleum and natural gas contributed to the overall drop in June fuel prices. Prices for petroleum fell 0.8 percent in June following advances of 7.4 percent in May and 4.2 percent in April. Natural gas prices fell 6.0 percent in June, after a 24.7-percent drop the previous month. The price index for natural gas has not recorded a monthly increase since a 13.4-percent advance in January. Fuel prices rose 33.8 percent over the past 12 months, driven by a 37.8-percent increase in petroleum prices over the same period. In contrast, natural gas prices declined 27.8 percent over the past year, the largest 12-month drop since the index fell 34.8 percent for June 2016. All Imports Excluding Fuel: Prices for nonfuel imports decreased 0.3 percent in June following a 0.2- percent increase in May. The June decline was led by lower prices for foods, feeds, and beverages; consumer goods; capital goods; and automotive vehicles which more than offset higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials. The price index for nonfuel imports advanced 1.5 percent for the year ended in June, driven by higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials; capital goods; and consumer goods. Table A.

Exports All Exports: U.S. export prices increased 0.3 percent in June, after rising 0.6 percent the previous month. In June, higher nonagricultural prices more than offset decreasing prices for agricultural exports. Prices for overall exports advanced 5.3 percent over the past 12 months, the largest over-the-year increase since the index rose 6.3 percent in October 2011. Agricultural Exports: Agricultural export prices fell 1.0 percent in June following a 1.6-percent increase in May and a 1.1-percent decrease in April. The largest contributors to the June decline were a 2.6-percent drop in soybeans prices and a 3.1-percent decrease in corn prices. A 6.4-percent rise in fruit prices partially mitigated the overall decrease in agricultural prices. Despite the declines in June and April, export agricultural prices increased 5.4 percent over the past 12 months. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: The price index for nonagricultural exports increased 0.4 percent in June, after advancing 0.6 percent in May. Nonagricultural prices have not recorded a 1-month decline since the index edged down 0.1 percent in October 2017. In June, rising prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials and capital goods more than offset lower consumer goods and automotive vehicles prices. Overall nonagricultural prices rose 5.4 percent over the past year, the largest 12-month advance for the index since prices increased 5.8 percent in October 2011. SELECTED JUNE HIGHLIGHTS Import Prices Imports by Locality of Origin: Import prices from China recorded no change in June, after a 0.1-percent uptick the previous month. Prices for imports from China increased 0.5 percent over the past year, the largest 12-month advance for the index since a 0.6-percent rise between May 2013 and May 2014. In contrast, the price index for imports from Japan edged down 0.1 percent in June, the first monthly decline since the index fell 0.3 percent in October 2017. Import prices from the European Union, Canada, and Mexico all decreased in June, led in part by lower fuel prices. Prices for imports from the European Union and Canada decreased 0.3 percent, and the price index for imports from Mexico fell 0.5 percent. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonfuel industrial supplies and materials prices increased 0.3 percent in June following a 0.8-percent advance in May. Higher prices for metals and paper drove the June advance. Finished Goods: Prices for each of the major finished goods areas decreased in June. Consumer goods prices fell 0.3 percent in June, the first monthly decline since the index decreased 0.1 percent in December 2017 and the largest 1-month drop since the index fell 0.3 percent in November 2016. The price indexes for import capital goods and automotive vehicles each declined 0.1 percent in June. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Foods, feeds, and beverages prices fell 2.6 percent in June, the largest monthly decline for the index since a 2.8-percent drop in February 2012. Falling prices for vegetables, fruit, and fish and shellfish all contributed to the decrease in June. Transportation Services: Import air passenger fares increased 7.3 percent in June, after decreasing 2.5 percent the previous month. The June rise was driven by a 7.9-percent advance in European fares and a 12.6-percent increase in Asian fares. The index for import air passenger fares advanced 4.8 percent over the past year. Prices for import air freight fell 1.0 percent in June and increased 17.1 percent over the past 12 months. Export Prices Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials rose 1.3 percent in June following a 1.8-percent advance the previous month. Both increases were led by higher fuel prices which rose 3.2 percent in June and 5.1 percent in May. Finished Goods: Export finished goods prices were mixed in June. Capital goods prices ticked up 0.1 percent for the second consecutive month in June and have not recorded a monthly decline since the index edged down 0.1 percent in October 2016. In contrast, the price indexes for export consumer goods and automotive vehicles declined 0.1 percent in June. Transportation Services: Export air passenger fares rose 5.0 percent in June, after declining 0.7 percent in May and 3.7 percent in April. Higher European, Asian, and Latin American/Caribbean fares all contributed to the increase in June. Overall export air passenger fares rose 1.5 percent for the year ended in June. The price index for export air freight recorded no change in June and increased 1.4 percent over the past year. Import and Export Price Index data for July are scheduled for release on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT). New Locality of Destination and Terms of Trade Data Beginning with the August news release on September 14, the BLS will introduce two new data series. Locality of Destination price indexes will measure export prices based on the country or region where items are exported. Terms of Trade indexes are based on the country or region and measure the relative price for imports in terms of export prices and are defined as the all-export price index divided by the respective all- import price index. For more information on Terms of Trade indexes, please see "U.S. Import and Export Prices and the Terms of Trade" at www.bls.gov/opub/btn/archive/us-import-and-export-price-indexes-and- the-terms-of-trade.pdf. The Locality of Destination price indexes will be published at the all-export level and also include a breakdown by manufacturing industries and nonmanufacturing industries where possible. The countries and regions for which indexes will be published include the Industrialized Countries, the European Union, Latin America, the Pacific Rim, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, and Mexico. Indexes by manufacturing industries and nonmanufacturing industries will be available for all countries and regions except Canada and Germany. Terms of Trade indexes will be available for all countries and regions where both the import Locality of Origin index and the export Locality of Destination index are published. These include the Industrialized Countries, the European Union, Latin America, the Pacific Rim, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, and Mexico. The data series for both the Locality of Destination price indexes and the Terms of Trade indexes will begin in December 2017 when the indexes are first published on September 14. In addition to the new indexes, the numbering of the tables in the Import and Export Price Index news release will be changing. Tables 1 through 7 will remain the same, and the new Locality of Destination data will be in table 8 and the new Terms of Trade data will be in table 9. The current table for Selected Transportation Services will change from table 8 to table 10. Other formatting changes to the text of the news release will be made. An example of the new format and tables will be provided before the September 14 release date.

NOTES: Data may be revised in each of the 3 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 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 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 - 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 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. 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. 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. Email Subscription - The U.S. import and export price indexes news release is available through an email subscription service at www.bls.gov/bls/list.htm. Additional Information - More detailed data are available on the Import/Export Price Indexes home page at www.bls.gov/mxp. For import and export price indexes data requests, send an email to mxpinfo@bls.gov. Information from this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.
