The August downturn was led by lower fuel and nonfuel prices. In contrast, prices for U.S. exports advanced 0.4 percent in August, after increasing 1.1 percent in July. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Error in the Export Air Freight Price Indexes BLS discovered an error affecting the export price indexes for air freight, air freight-Europe, and air freight-Asia for January to June 2021. The items for foreign-to-foreign destinations were mistakenly excluded from the calculation of the indexes. Corrected values appear in this release. More information is available at www.bls.gov/errata/home.htm?errataID=87723. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Imports The price index for U.S. imports decreased 0.3 percent in August, the first monthly decline for the index since a 0.1-percent drop in October 2020. Import prices advanced 9.0 percent over the past year, the smallest 12-month increase since March 2021. Higher fuel and nonfuel prices contributed to the overall advance in import prices from August 2020 to August 2021. (See table 1.) Fuel Imports: Import fuel prices declined 2.3 percent in August following a 3.0-percent increase in July. The August drop was the first monthly decrease since the index fell 1.0 percent in October 2020. The August downturn was mostly driven by lower petroleum prices. Prices for import petroleum declined 2.4 percent in August, after advancing 2.3 percent the previous month. The price index for natural gas also fell in August, decreasing 0.8 percent following a 16.6-percent increase in July. Despite the declines in August, prices for import fuel rose 56.5 percent over the past year. Petroleum prices increased 55.9 percent and prices for natural gas advanced 93.2 percent from August 2020 to August 2021. All Imports Excluding Fuel: Prices for nonfuel imports fell 0.1 percent in August, after ticking up 0.1 percent the previous month. The August drop was the first monthly decline since the index fell 0.2 percent in November 2020. In August, a drop in the price index for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials more than offset higher prices for automotive vehicles; foods, feeds, and beverages; capital goods; and consumer goods. Nonfuel import prices increased 5.6 percent for the year ended in August. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Prices for foods, feeds, and beverages advanced 0.6 percent for the second consecutive month. In August, the rise was led by higher prices for fruit and coffee. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonfuel industrial supplies and materials prices decreased 1.3 percent in August, after declining 1.2 percent in July. The August drop was primarily driven by lower selected building materials prices which more than offset higher chemicals prices. Finished Goods: Prices for each of the major finished goods categories advanced in August. Capital goods prices ticked up 0.1 percent, led by higher prices for computers, peripherals, and semiconductors, and oil drilling, mining, and construction machinery. Prices for automotive vehicles rose 0.3 percent in August and consumer goods prices advanced 0.1 percent. Table A. Percent change in Import and Export Price Indexes, selected categories

Exports U.S. export prices advanced 0.4 percent in August following increases of 1.1 percent in July and 1.2 percent in June. The August rise was the smallest 1-month advance since October 2020. Higher prices for both agricultural and nonagricultural exports contributed to the August increase. Prices for U.S. exports advanced 16.8 percent for the year ended in August. (See table 2.) Agricultural Exports: Prices for agricultural exports rose 1.1 percent in August, after decreasing 1.7 percent the previous month. In August, higher prices for nuts, wheat, meat, vegetables, and dairy products more than offset lower prices for corn, animal feeds, fruit, and soybeans. Agricultural export prices advanced 33.4 percent over the past year. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: The price index for nonagricultural exports advanced 0.2 percent in August following a 1.4-percent increase the previous month. The August rise was the smallest 1-month advance since the index last recorded a monthly decline in October 2020. In August, higher prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, automotive vehicles, and nonagricultural foods more than offset declining consumer goods prices. Nonagricultural export prices increased 14.9 percent from August 2020 to August 2021. Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices rose 0.6 percent in August, after a 3.0-percent increase in July. Prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials exports have not recorded a monthly decline since October 2020. Finished Goods: Prices for most of the major finished goods categories increased in August. The price index for export capital goods ticked up 0.1 percent in August following 0.4-percent advances in July and June. The August rise was driven by higher prices for industrial and service machinery, and oil drilling, mining, and construction machinery. Automotive vehicle prices rose 0.2 percent in August, after a 0.5- percent increase the previous month. In contrast, prices for consumer goods fell 0.3 percent in August following a 0.2-percent drop in July. Lower prices for medicinal, dental, and pharmaceutical materials led the decline each month. Measures of Import and Export Prices by Locality Imports by Locality of Origin: Import prices from China increased 0.4 percent in August following a 0.6- percent advance in July. The index has not recorded a monthly decline since edging down 0.1 percent in October 2020. Higher prices for fabricated metal product manufacturing were the largest contributor to the August increase. Prices for imports from China rose 3.8 percent over the past 12 months, the largest over- the-year advance since a 4.0-percent increase in November 2011. The price index for imports from Japan rose 0.2 percent in August, after a 0.3-percent advance the previous month.

Terms of Trade Indexes: Terms of trade indexes are based on country, region, or grouping and measure the change in the purchasing power of exports relative to imports. U.S. terms of trade with China declined 0.2 percent in August, after decreasing 0.3 percent in July. In both months, higher import prices from China more than offset rising export prices to China. Despite the recent drops, the index for U.S. terms of trade with China rose 8.0 percent over the past year.

Import and Export Services Imports: Import air passenger fares declined 6.0 percent in August, the largest monthly drop since the index fell 12.3 percent in April 2020. The August decrease was driven by a 10.9-percent decline in Asian fares and a 7.0-percent drop in European fares. Import air passenger fares increased 14.8 percent over the past 12 months. Import air freight prices decreased for the second consecutive month in August, falling 1.1 percent, after declining 5.6 percent the previous month.

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.
