Lower fuel and nonfuel prices in September contributed to the drop in U.S. import prices. Prices for U.S. exports fell 0.8 percent in September following a 1.7-percent decline in August. Imports The price index for U.S. imports decreased 1.2 percent in September and 3.7 percent in the third quarter of 2022. The quarterly drop was the largest 3-month decline since the index fell 4.3 percent for the 3 months ended May 2020. Prices for U.S. imports rose 6.0 percent over the past year, the smallest 12-month advance since the index rose 3.0 percent for the year ended February 2021. (See table 1.) Fuel Imports: Prices for import fuel fell 7.5 percent for the second consecutive month in September. Those were the largest 1-month declines since the index decreased 7.7 percent in December 2021. Despite the recent declines, import fuel prices rose 32.3 percent from September 2021 to September 2022. Lower prices in September for petroleum and natural gas contributed to the overall drop in import fuel prices. Petroleum prices decreased 7.5 percent in September, after declining 8.3 percent in August. The price index for natural gas fell 10.5 percent in September following a 3.5-percent advance the previous month. Petroleum prices rose 31.5 percent for the year ended in September and natural gas prices advanced 49.1 percent over the same period. All Imports Excluding Fuel: Nonfuel import prices decreased 0.4 percent in September, after declining 0.2 percent the previous month. Prices for nonfuel imports have not advanced on a monthly basis since a 0.4- percent increase in April 2022. Lower prices in September for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials more than offset higher prices for foods, feeds, and beverages. Despite the recent drops, nonfuel import prices rose 3.4 percent for the year ended in September. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Prices for foods, feeds, and beverages advanced 0.2 percent in September, the first 1-month increase since a 0.9-percent rise in April 2022. A 12.2-percent advance in vegetable prices in September more than offset a 6.9-percent decline in fruit prices. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: The price index for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials fell 1.9 percent in September following a 0.4-percent drop in August. The September decrease was led by lower prices for unfinished metals, chemicals, finished metals, and selected building materials. Finished Goods: Each of the major finished goods categories was unchanged in September. Capital goods prices were unchanged following a 0.1-percent decrease in August. The price index for consumer goods was unchanged in September, after ticking up 0.1 percent the previous month. Consumer goods prices have not recorded a monthly drop since June 2022. Prices for automotive vehicles were unchanged in September following a revised 0.3-percent drop the previous month. The August decline was the first 1-month decrease since November 2020 and the largest monthly drop since January 2019. Table A. Percent change in Import and Export Price Indexes, selected categories

Exports U.S. export prices declined 0.8 percent in September and 6.2 percent in the third quarter of 2022. The quarterly drop was the largest 3-month decrease since the index fell 7.3 percent from September to December 2008. Lower agricultural and nonagricultural prices each contributed to the September decline. Prices for U.S. exports rose 9.5 percent over the past year, the smallest 12-month advance since a 5.4- percent increase in February 2021. (See table 2.) Agricultural Exports: The price index for agricultural exports decreased 1.0 percent in September, after falling 0.5 percent the previous month. Lower prices for soybeans, fruit, meat, and nuts led the September decline. Agricultural export prices increased 12.6 percent over the past 12 months and have not decreased on an over-the-year basis since the index fell 2.9 percent from August 2019 to August 2020. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: Nonagricultural prices declined 0.9 percent in September following drops of 1.8 percent in August and 3.8 percent in July. Lower prices in September for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials and consumer goods more than offset higher prices for capital goods, nonagricultural foods, and automotive vehicles. Despite the recent decreases, prices for nonagricultural exports increased 9.2 percent over the past 12 months. Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials exports fell 1.8 percent in September following a 3.8-percent decline in August. Lower prices for chemicals, fuels, and nonferrous metals all contributed to the September decrease. Finished Goods: Prices were mixed for the major finished goods categories in September. The price indexes for capital goods and automotive vehicles each increased 0.2 percent. The advance in capital goods prices was led by higher computer prices. The rise in automotive vehicles prices was driven by higher parts prices. In contrast, prices for consumer goods exports declined 0.3 percent in September, the first monthly decrease since May 2022. More information for the major import and export price indexes can be found at www.bls.gov/web/ximpim/largest.htm.

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 fell 2.3 percent in September and 8.2 percent in the third quarter of 2022. Lower export prices to China and higher import prices from China both contributed to the September drop in U.S. terms of trade with China. Despite the recent decreases, U.S. terms of trade with China increased 3.3 percent over the past year. The index for U.S. terms of trade with Japan fell 2.2 percent in September, after declining 2.1 percent the previous month. In contrast, the index for U.S. terms of trade with Canada rose 2.6 percent in September following 3.3- percent advances in August and July. U.S. terms of trade with the European Union and Mexico fell in September, down 0.8 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively. (See table 9.) Import and Export Services Imports: Import air passenger fares rose 4.7 percent in September following a 9.9-percent decrease the previous month. The September increase was driven by a 15.2-percent advance in European fares which rebounded from a 14.4-percent drop in August. The index for import air passenger fares increased 7.1 percent from September 2021 to September 2022. Import air freight prices declined 0.5 percent in September, after advancing 3.4 percent in August. Lower Asian air freight prices in September more than offset higher European air freight prices. Prices for import air freight decreased 5.6 percent for the year ended in September. (See table 10.) Exports: Export air passenger fares declined 3.7 percent in September following a 2.4-percent drop in August. The September decrease was the largest 1-month decline since the index fell 11.2 percent in February. The index for export air passenger fares advanced 13.8 percent over the past year.

NOTES: Data may be revised in each of the 3 months after original publication. |
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.
