The October decline was driven by lower fuel prices which more than offset higher nonfuel prices. In contrast, prices for U.S. exports increased 0.2 percent in October following a 0.6-percent advance in September. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic Impact on October 2020 Import and Export Price Index Data The Bureau of Labor Statistics did not make changes to either the collection method or estimation methodology for the October release of U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes. Survey response rates for October were 5.7-percentage points lower than those in October 2019. A small number of indexes that are normally published were not published in October. Additional information is available at www.bls.gov/covid19/import-export-price-indexes-covid19-impacts-october-2020.htm. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Imports Prices for U.S. imports fell 0.1 percent in October, the first 1-month decline for the index since a 2.6-percent drop in April. From April to September, import prices increased 4.3 percent. Despite the recent increases, prices for U.S. imports decreased 1.0 percent for the year ended in October. (See table 1.) Fuel Imports: Import fuel prices decreased 1.9 percent in October, after a 5.2-percent drop the previous month. Lower prices for both natural gas and petroleum contributed to the October decline. Natural gas prices fell 18.1 percent in October following increases of 26.3 percent in September and 12.9 percent in August. The October decrease was the largest drop since the index fell 22.1 percent in June 2019. The price index for import petroleum declined 1.0 percent in October, after decreasing 6.8 percent the previous month. Prices for import fuel fell 27.4 percent for the year ended in October. A 29.1-percent decline in petroleum prices over the past 12 months more than offset a 20.9-percent advance in natural gas prices. All Imports Excluding Fuel: Prices for nonfuel imports rose 0.1 percent in October, after a 0.5-percent increase in September and a 0.7-percent advance in August. Nonfuel import prices have not recorded a 1- month decline since April. The October rise was led by higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials and foods, feeds, and beverages which more than offset falling prices for consumer goods and automotive vehicles. The price index for nonfuel imports advanced 1.7 percent over the past 12 months, the largest over-the-year increase since the index rose 1.8 percent in May 2018. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonfuel industrial supplies and materials prices advanced 0.3 percent in October following a 2.7-percent rise the previous month. In October, the increase was driven by higher prices for chemicals and selected building materials. Finished Goods: Finished goods prices were mostly down in October. Prices for consumer goods decreased 0.2 percent, the first decline since April. The October decline was led by lower prices for coins, gems, jewelry, and collectibles. Automotive vehicles prices also fell in October, edging down 0.1 percent. Prices for capital goods were unchanged. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: The price index for foods, feeds, and beverages ticked up 0.1 percent in October, after rising 1.1 percent in September. The October increase was led by a 1.9-percent advance in fish and shellfish prices which more than offset lower prices for fruit, meat, and coffee. Table A.

Exports U.S. export prices increased 0.2 percent in October, continuing the upward trend of the 4 previous months. In October, the advance was driven by higher agricultural export prices; prices for nonagricultural exports were unchanged. Even with the recent increases, export prices declined 1.6 percent for the year ended in October. (See table 2.) Agricultural Exports: The price index for agricultural exports rose 3.4 percent in October, after increasing 2.8 percent in September. The October advance was the largest rise since the index increased 3.8 percent in December 2018. Higher prices for vegetables, corn, soybeans, and dairy products were the largest contributors to the October increase in agricultural prices. Agricultural export prices advanced 3.1 percent over the past year, the largest 12-month increase since January. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: Prices for nonagricultural exports were unchanged in October, after rising in each of the 4 previous months. In October, lower prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials and capital goods offset an increase in automotive vehicles prices. Despite not recording a monthly decline since April, nonagricultural export prices decreased 2.0 percent over the past year. A 6.9- percent decline in nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials from October 2019 to October 2020 more than offset higher finished goods prices. Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: The price index for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials exports fell 0.3 percent, the first decline since the index decreased 10.4 percent in April. The October drop was led by a 1.2-percent decrease in fuel prices. Finished Goods: Finished goods prices were mixed in October. Automotive vehicles prices rose 0.3 percent, after not changing the 2 previous months. The October rise was the largest monthly advance since January and was driven by higher prices for engines and engine parts. In contrast, prices for capital goods edged down 0.1 percent in October, the first monthly drop since May. The price index for consumer goods was unchanged in October. Measures of Import and Export Prices by Locality Imports by Locality of Origin: Import prices from China were unchanged for the second consecutive month in October, after increasing 0.1 percent in August and 0.2 percent in July. Prices for imports from Japan increased 0.2 percent in October following a 0.1-percent advance in September. The October rise was led by higher prices for transportation equipment. Import prices from Japan were unchanged for the year ended in October. The price index for imports from the European Union rose 0.2 percent in October and advanced 2.0 percent over the past year. In contrast, import prices from Canada and Mexico declined in October, falling 0.7 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. Prices for imports from Canada decreased 3.3 percent from October 2019 to October 2020, and prices for imports from Mexico increased 1.1 percent over the same period. (See table 7.) Exports by Locality of Destination: The price index for exports to China advanced 0.8 percent in October, after edging down 0.1 percent in September. Prices for exports to China increased 1.3 percent over the past year. Export prices to Japan rose 1.3 percent in October, the largest 1-month advance since a 4.4-percent increase in June. The price index for exports to Japan decreased 0.2 percent for the year ended in October despite not recording a monthly drop since May. Prices for exports to the European Union declined 0.4 percent following increases in each of the 4 previous months. Export prices to the European Union fell 1.4 percent over the past 12 months. Prices for exports to Canada advanced 0.6 percent in October following consecutive 0.9-percent increases the 2 previous months. Prices for exports to Mexico rose 1.1 percent in October, after a 0.4-percent advance the previous month. (See table 8.) 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. The index for U.S. terms of trade with China rose 0.8 percent in October, after edging down 0.1 percent in September. The U.S. terms of trade with Japan advanced 1.0 percent in October, and have not recorded a monthly decrease since April. The index for U.S. terms of trade with the European Union declined 0.6 percent in October following a 0.4-percent drop the previous month. In October, a decrease in export prices to the European Union and an increase in import prices from the European Union contributed to the decline in the U.S. terms of trade. The U.S. terms of trade with Canada advanced 1.3 percent in October, and the U.S. terms of trade with Mexico increased 1.2 percent. (See table 9.) Import and Export Services Imports: Import air passenger fares increased 3.9 percent following a 4.4-percent rise in September. Higher European, Asian, and Latin American/Caribbean fares all contributed to the October advance. Despite the recent advances, import air passenger fares decreased 12.4 percent from October 2019 to October 2020. Prices for import air freight increased 4.9 percent in October, after falling 2.9 percent the previous month. The index for import air freight rose 58.0 percent for the year ended in October. (See table 10.) Exports: Export air passenger fares fell 4.0 percent in October, the first monthly decline for the index since May. The decrease followed advances of 5.9 percent in September, 3.1 percent in August, 5.5 percent in July, and 6.4 percent in June. The October drop was led by a 21.0-percent decline in Asian fares which more than offset rising Latin American/Caribbean and European fares. Export air passenger fares increased 3.3 percent over the past year. Export air freight prices fell 6.8 percent in October, the largest 1-month drop since the index was first published monthly in December 2005. Export air freight prices declined 4.7 percent for the year ended in October. U.S. Import and Export Price Index data for November are scheduled for release on Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. (ET).

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. 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. 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.
