In July, increasing nonfuel prices more than offset a downturn in fuel prices. The price index for U.S. exports rose 0.2 percent in July, after advancing 0.8 percent in June. Imports All Imports: U.S. import prices continued to advance in July, ticking up 0.1 percent. Prices for imports have not recorded a monthly decrease over the past 5 months and increased 3.0 percent since last declining in February. Prior to July, the increases were driven by rising fuel prices. In contrast, in July, nonfuel prices led the advance and fuel prices recorded a decrease. Despite the recent increases, import prices remain down on an over-the-year basis, falling 3.7 percent over the past 12 months. Import prices have not recorded a 12- month advance since 2 years ago when the index rose 0.9 percent between July 2013 and July 2014. All Imports Excluding Fuel: The price index for nonfuel imports rose 0.3 percent in July following a 0.2- percent drop in June and a 0.3-percent advance in May. The 0.3-percent increases were the largest 1-month advances since the index rose 0.3 percent in March 2014. The last time the index increased more than 0.3 percent was a 0.4-percent rise in March 2012. The July advance was led by higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials; and foods, feeds, and beverages. In contrast, import finished goods prices decreased in July. Prices for nonfuel imports declined 1.2 percent over the past year. Fuel Imports: Fuel prices decreased 2.5 percent in July, the first monthly decline since the index fell 6.8 percent in February. Before the downturn, import fuel prices rose 47.1 percent from February to June. In July, a 3.6-percent drop in petroleum prices drove the downturn in fuel prices and more than offset a 31.4 percent increase in the price index for natural gas. Prices for import fuel decreased 22.3 percent for the year ended in July. A 23.1-percent decline in petroleum prices over the period and a 17.5-percent drop in natural gas prices each contributed to the overall fall in fuel prices. Table A.

Exports All Exports: Prices for U.S. exports increased 0.2 percent in July, after rising 2.4 percent over the 3 previous months. In July, higher nonagricultural prices more than offset a decrease in agricultural prices. The price index for exports last recorded a 1-month decline when the index edged down 0.1 percent in March. Even accounting for the recent advances, export prices declined 3.0 percent over the past 12 months and have not increased on an over-the-year basis since the index advanced 0.4 percent in August 2014. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: Nonagricultural prices increased 0.3 percent in July following a 0.5 percent advance the previous month. In July, rising prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials as well as consumer goods drove the overall rise. Prices for nonagricultural exports fell 3.0 percent over the past 12 months and declines for each of the major end-use categories contributed to the decrease from July 2015 to July 2016. Agricultural Exports: The price index for agricultural exports declined 0.4 percent in July, after rising 2.6 percent in June, 3.0 percent in May, and 0.8 percent in April. The downturn in July was led by an 8.5- percent decrease in corn prices; lower wheat prices also contributed to the overall decrease. Agricultural export prices fell 2.6 percent for the year ended in July, driven primarily by falling prices for nuts, wheat, and corn. SELECTED JULY HIGHLIGHTS Import Prices Imports by Locality of Origin: Prices for imports from China edged down 0.1 percent in July, after decreasing 0.2 percent in June. The price index for imports from China has not recorded a monthly advance since ticking up 0.1 percent in December 2014 and decreased 1.8 percent on a 12-month basis for the second consecutive month in July. Import prices from the European Union and Mexico also declined in July, falling 0.3 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. In contrast, prices for imports from Japan rose 0.2 percent in July. The last time the price index for imports from Japan recorded a monthly advance larger than 0.2 percent was a 0.3-percent increase in August 2011. Import prices from Canada rose 0.2 percent in July following a 2.7- percent advance in June. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonfuel industrial supplies and materials prices rose 1.6 percent in July, after a 0.2-percent drop in June. The July advance was led by higher prices for gold, other precious metals, and iron and steel mill products. Finished Goods: Each of the major finished goods categories recorded declines in July. Automotive vehicles prices fell 0.3 percent, driven by lower passenger car prices. The price indexes for capital goods and consumer goods each edged down 0.1 percent in July. Capital goods prices last rose on a monthly basis in June 2014. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Prices for foods, feeds, and beverages increased 3.3 percent in July, driven by a 32.0-percent jump in import fruit prices. The July advance in foods, feeds, and beverages prices was the largest monthly advance since the index rose 3.6 percent in March 2014. Transportation Services: Import air passenger fares declined 3.9 percent in July following monthly increases in each of the past 3 months. An 8.4-percent drop in European fares was the main contributor to the July downturn, while Asian fares also fell, declining 3.1 percent. Import air passenger fares decreased 8.3 percent over the past year. The price index for import air freight rose 2.5 percent in July, the largest 1- month rise for the index since a 5.0-percent advance in October 2015. Despite the July rise, import air freight prices fell 7.7 percent over the past 12 months. Export Prices Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials rose 0.6 percent in July, after advancing 1.8 percent in June. The July increase was led by a 6.7-percent rise in nonferrous metal prices. Finished Goods: Finished goods prices were mixed in July. Prices for consumer goods rose 0.5 percent, driven by a 1.7-percent advance in the price index for medicinal, dental, and pharmaceutical materials. The last time consumer goods prices increased by more than 0.5 percent was a 1.2-percent advance in June 2011. Capital goods prices edged down 0.1 percent in July and automotive vehicles prices recorded no change. Transportation Services: Export air passenger fares rose 4.4 percent in July following a 3.4-percent advance in June. An 11.5-percent increase in Latin American/Caribbean fares and a 5.9-percent rise in Asian fares each contributed to the overall advance for export air passenger fares. Despite the recent increase, export air passenger fares fell 9.4 percent over the past 12 months. The price index for export air freight fell 0.2 percent in July and 3.2 percent over the past year. Import and Export Price Index data for August 2016 are scheduled for release on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).

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) include 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 - 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 indexes and excluded from the export air passenger fares indexes. 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 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 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. 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.
