Higher prices for fuel drove the increase in November and nonfuel prices recorded no change. U.S. export prices increased 0.5 percent in November following a 0.1-percent advance the previous month. Imports All Imports: Import prices advanced 0.7 percent in November following rises of 0.1 percent in October and 0.8 percent in September. Higher fuel prices were the main contributor to the overall advance in import prices for November. The import price index increased 3.1 percent over the past 12 months. U.S. import prices have not recorded an over-the-year decline since a 0.2-percent drop in October 2016. Fuel Imports: The import price index for fuels rose 7.6 percent in November, after a 0.2-percent increase in October. Rising prices for import petroleum and natural gas contributed to the increase. Petroleum prices advanced 7.2 percent in November, the largest monthly rise since the index increased 7.5 percent in October 2016. Natural gas prices rose 26.3 percent, the first monthly advance since the index increased 8.0 percent in April and the largest rise since the index advanced 28.0 percent in July 2016. Import fuel prices rose 22.2 percent over the past year driven by a 24.1-percent increase in petroleum prices. In contrast, import prices for natural gas decreased 5.6 percent for the year ended in November. All Imports Excluding Fuel: Nonfuel import prices recorded no change in November following a 0.1- percent rise in October. Lower prices for foods, feeds, and beverages offset higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials, consumer goods, and automotive vehicles. Import capital goods prices recorded no change in November. The price index for nonfuel imports advanced 1.4 percent between November 2016 and November 2017. The 12-month increase was driven by higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, and consumer goods which more than offset lower prices for automotive vehicles and foods, feeds, and beverages. The last over-the-year decline in nonfuel import prices was a 0.2-percent decrease for the 12-month period ended November 2016. Table A.

Exports All Exports: The export price index rose 0.5 percent in November, after ticking up 0.1 percent in October and advancing 0.8 percent in September. In November, higher nonagricultural export prices offset lower prices for agricultural exports. U.S. export prices advanced 3.1 percent over the past 12 months and have not recorded an over-the-year decrease since the index fell 0.2 percent in November 2016. Agricultural Exports: Agricultural export prices declined 0.6 percent in November following a 1.9-percent increase in October. Lower prices for vegetables and meats led the drop, more than offsetting higher prices for fruit. The agricultural export price index rose 2.1 percent for the year ended in November, driven by advancing prices for meat, wheat, and nuts. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: The nonagricultural export price index increased 0.6 percent in November, after edging down 0.1 percent in October. Export nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices advanced in November, driving the monthly rise despite lower prices for capital goods and automotive vehicles. Export consumer goods prices recorded no change. Nonagricultural export prices increased 3.2 percent for the 12 months ended in November, continuing an upward trend since the index last fell on an over-the-year basis in November 2016. The price indexes for export nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, and automotive vehicles contributed to the 12-month advance.

Import prices for capital goods recorded no change. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: The price index for import foods, feeds, and beverages declined 1.7 percent in November, after decreasing 0.4 percent in October. The drop was led by an 11.1-percent decrease in fruit prices and a 1.4-percent decline in fish and shellfish prices. Those decreases more than offset a 6.9-percent increase in vegetable prices.

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. 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. 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.
