In November, both higher fuel and nonfuel prices contributed to the advance. U.S. export prices rose 1.0 percent in November, after increasing 1.6 percent in October and 0.3 percent in September. Imports U.S. import prices advanced 0.7 percent in November, continuing the upward trend recorded throughout 2021 with the exception of a 0.2-percent drop in August. The price index for U.S. imports rose 11.7 percent over the past 12 months, the largest over-the-year increase since the index advanced 12.7 percent for the year ended September 2011. (See table 1.) Fuel Imports: Prices for import fuel rose 2.0 percent in November following an 11.1-percent increase the previous month. The November advance was driven by higher natural gas prices. Import fuel prices increased 86.1 percent from November 2020 to November 2021. The price index for natural gas rose 27.4 percent in November, after advancing 20.8 percent in October. Those are the largest monthly increases since the index rose 44.2 percent in November 2020. Natural gas prices advanced 108.7 percent for the year ended in November. Petroleum prices also increased in November, rising 0.4 percent for the month and 85.8 percent over the past 12 months. All Imports Excluding Fuel: The price index for nonfuel imports advanced 0.5 percent for the second consecutive month in November, the largest 1-month increases since June 2021. In November, higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, consumer goods, and automotive vehicles more than offset lower prices for foods, feeds, and beverages. Nonfuel import prices advanced 6.3 percent for the year ended in November, led by rising prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials. Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Prices for foods, feeds, and beverages declined 0.3 percent in November, the first monthly decrease since May 2021. The November drop was driven by lower prices for meat, fruit, and vegetables which more than offset higher coffee prices. Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonfuel industrial supplies and materials prices rose 1.6 percent in November, after increasing 1.4 percent in October. Higher prices for unfinished metals and chemicals led the November advance. Finished Goods: Prices for each of the major finished goods categories advanced in November. Capital goods prices advanced 0.2 percent for the second consecutive month. The November increase was led by higher prices for oil drilling, mining, and construction machinery and computers, peripherals, and semiconductors. The price indexes for both consumer goods and automotive vehicles also rose 0.2 percent in November. Table A. Percent change in Import and Export Price Indexes, selected categories

Exports Prices for U.S. exports rose 1.0 percent in November following a 1.6-percent advance the previous month. Higher prices for both agricultural exports and nonagricultural exports contributed to the overall increase in November. U.S. exports increased 18.2 percent over the past 12 months, the largest over-the-year advance in the series, which was first published in September 1984. (See table 2.) Agricultural Exports: The price index for agricultural exports increased 0.8 percent in November, after rising 1.0 percent in October. The November advance was driven by higher prices for wheat, fruit, cotton, and corn which more than offset lower nut and soybean prices. Prices for agricultural exports increased 21.4 percent for the year ended in November. All Exports Excluding Agriculture: Nonagricultural export prices rose 1.0 percent in November following a 1.7-percent advance in October. The increase in November was led by higher prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, consumer goods, and automotive vehicles which more than offset falling prices for nonagricultural food. The price index for nonagricultural exports advanced 17.8 percent over the past year, the largest 12-month rise in the series, which was first published in March 1986. Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials advanced 2.0 percent in November, driven by higher prices for fuel, nonferrous metals, and chemicals. Finished Goods: Prices for each of the major finished goods categories increased in November. Capital goods prices rose 0.3 percent for the fourth consecutive month. In November, the advance was led by higher prices for industrial and service machinery. Prices for consumer goods increased 0.4 percent in November, the largest 1-month rise since the index advanced 0.9 percent in June 2021. The price index for automotive vehicles ticked up 0.1 percent in November following a 0.4-percent increase the previous month. The November advance was driven by higher prices for parts, engines, bodies, and chassis.

The index for export air passenger fares fell 1.0 percent for the year ended in November, the first over-the-year decrease since the index declined 5.8 percent from August 2019 to August 2020. The 12-month decrease in November was driven by a 16.9-percent drop in Asian air passenger fares over the past year. Export air freight prices increased 0.4 percent in November following a 1.7-percent rise the previous month. The index has not recorded a monthly decline since July 2021. Prices for export air freight advanced 10.5 percent for the year ended in November.

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.
