Import Goods The downturn in average prices for all imports in June marked the first decline since the index edged down 0.1 percent in December 1994. Both petroleum and nonpetroleum import prices contributed to the most recent decline. Over the past 12 months, import prices rose 5.3 percent. In June, imported petroleum prices fell 3.4 percent after increasing 14.6 percent over the previous 5 months. The index for all imports excluding petroleum recorded a modest decline of 0.1 percent in June, in contrast to the 0.7 percent increase in May and the 0.5 percent advance in each of the preceding 3 months. Contributing to the June downturn was a 0.3 percent decline in prices for industrial supplies and materials excluding petroleum -- primarily attributable to falling lumber and nonferrous metal prices. The index for foods, feeds, and beverages also declined this month, decreasing 0.8 percent, due in part to an 8.0 percent drop in coffee prices. All of the finished goods indexes were either unchanged or increased slightly in June following relatively strong gains in the previous 2 months. This marked slowdown paralleled recent movements in the exchange rate, with the dollar depreciating sharply against the currencies of the major U.S. trading partners earlier in the year before stabilizing. The index for capital goods was unchanged in June after increasing 1.8 percent over the previous 2 months; autos rose 0.1 percent; and consumer goods gained 0.2 percent in June following average monthly gains of 0.5 percent and 0.3 percent over the previous 2 months, respectively. Export Goods The export price index monthly increase in June was the smallest since September 1994, when prices also rose 0.2 percent. Agricultural commodities, which increased 1.4 percent in June, led the modest increase. In June, nonagricultural exports rose 0.1 percent -- the smallest monthly advance since March 1994. A downturn for industrial supplies and materials significantly contributed to the slowdown. Industrial supplies and materials, which gained 17.1 percent over the year ended in June, fell 0.2 percent this month. The indexes for finished goods continued to be relatively stable. Autos and capital goods rose 0.2 percent in June after no change in May. The index for consumer goods was unchanged in June after gaining 0.2 percent in each of the previous 2 months. Imports by Locality of Origin The rate of increase for prices of Japanese imports eased considerably in June, rising just 0.1 percent, as the dollar strengthened versus the yen after depreciating substantially earlier in the year. Japanese import prices had increased 1.5 percent in May and 2.0 percent in April. For the 12 months ended in June, the prices of Japanese imports rose 6.4 percent. Prices of goods from the European Union also rose only 0.1 percent in June, after gaining 0.7 percent and 1.0 percent over the prior 2 months, respectively, as the dollar stabilized against major European currencies. Over the past year, the index for imports from Europe gained 6.8 percent. The Canadian import price index recorded no change in June, after rising a combined 1.8 percent over the previous 2 months. The index for nonmanufactured goods from Canada declined 1.3 percent this month, contributing to the overall slowdown. Canadian import prices rose 7.5 percent over the past year. Prices of imports from the Asian Newly Industrialized Counties continued to record a modest upward trend, gaining 0.2 percent in June after rising 0.3 percent the previous month. For the 12 months ended in June, the index rose 0.7 percent. International Services Air Transportation The Inbound Air Freight Index rose for the fifth consecutive quarter, posting a 2.3 percent increase. This increase was attributable to a 3.9 percent rise in the Pacific region, moderated by a 0.3 percent decline in the Atlantic region. In contrast, following two quarterly increases, the Outbound Air Freight Index dropped 0.2 percent this quarter, triggered by a 1.7 percent decline in the Atlantic region. Both the U.S. Carrier and Foreign Carrier Air Passenger Fare indexes jumped significantly in the second quarter with increases of 10.8 percent and 10.0 percent, respectively. The Atlantic region on the U.S. Carrier side gained 20.7 percent, and the Pacific region increased by 9.0 percent. On the Foreign Carrier side, the Atlantic region rose 12.9 percent, and the Pacific region increased 12.8 percent. The Latin American/Caribbean regions declined slightly for both indexes, and the U.S. carrier index for the Canadian region decreased by 2.2 percent. Ocean Transportation The Ocean Liner Freight Index doubled last quarters gain with an increase of 3.7 percent. Both the U.S. East Coast and U.S. West Coast indexes contributed to the overall rise with increases of 1.3 and 5.9 percent, respectively. The most dramatic gain was in the Pacific to U.S. East Coast index, with an increase of 11.1 percent this quarter. The Ocean Tanker Freight Index increased 1.9 percent. The Atlantic region, which had been up substantially in the 2 preceding quarters, experienced a 13.8 percent decrease, while the Gulf region gained 10.2 percent.

The merchandise price indexes are published using three classifications: the Harmonized System (HS), the Bureau of Economic Analysis End-Use System, and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) system, Rev. 3. Price indexes for internationally traded services are presented using two definitions: Balance of Payments (which represents transactions between U.S. and foreign residents) and International (which represents all transactions with U.S. importers or exporters, regardless of nationality). Published series use a base year of 1990=100 where possible. Exceptions are for the recently instituted HS indexes, which use a base of December 1992=100. Net transaction price data are collected every 3 months for approximately 22,000 products from over 9,000 companies and secondary sources. Approximately two-thirds of the items are also repriced in the intervening months. (Current plans call for all items to be repriced monthly by 1996.) Indexes are not seasonally adjusted. Historical index series and additional information may be obtained from the Division of International Prices, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2 Massachusetts Avenue NE, PSB 3955, Washington, D.C. 20212, (202) 606-7155. Import Price Indexes -- Products have been classified by the 1990 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. The index for import electrical energy is lagged one month. Export Price Indexes -- Products have been classified by the 1990 Harmonized Schedule B classification system of the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The prices used are generally either "free on board" (f.o.b.) factory or "free alongside ship" (f.a.s.) 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. Import Indexes by Locality of Origin -- Prices used in these indexes are a subset of the data collected for the Import Price Indexes. Prior to January 1993, nonmanufactured goods were defined as SITC 0-4 and manufactured goods were defined as SITC 5-8. Beginning with January 1993, the indexes are weighted by country or region of origin using a nomenclature based upon the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC-Based). Nonmanufactured goods are defined as SIC 0-1, and manufactured goods are defined as SIC 2-3. The indexes use a base of December 1990=100. Import, Export, and International Services Indexes -- Indexes are updated on a quarterly basis. The figures for services indexes will not sum up to the aggregate dollar value because not all categories are shown in the tables. Revenue figures for air passenger indexes exclude frequent flyer tickets and those sold by consolidators. Indexes for crude oil tanker freight are calculated from data collected by the U. S. Department of Energy and represent the second month of the quarter. Revision policy -- Data are revised for the previous 3 months to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents. Uses of the Data -- The primary use of the indexes is to deflate trade statistics. For merchandise trade, the End-Use classification system is the structure used by the Department of Commerce in the construction of the foreign trade sector of the National Income and Product Accounts. Indexes published using the Harmonized System and the Standard International Trade Classification, Rev. 3, both international structures, are useful for general market analysis. For trade in international services, Balance of Payments indexes are used for deflating National Accounts data, while International indexes are more appropriate for market analysis. Merchandise and services indexes can also be used to study U. S. competitiveness and price elasticities, and the merchandise import indexes by country or region of origin are useful for terms of trade analysis. The import and export news release contains monthly price indexes at the two-digit level of detail.
