Media contact: Tuesday, August 29, 1995 Kathryn Hoyle (202) 606-5902 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -JULY 1995- Led by declining petroleum prices, the U.S. Import Price Index fell for the second month in a row, down 0.6 percent in July following a 0.5 percent decline in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The U.S. Export Price Index, in contrast, increased 0.3 percent this month, about the same as the increase in the prior 2 months.

Import Goods Over the past 12 months, the import price index was up 3.7 percent. The decreases in June and July were primarily due to declines in the price of imported petroleum products. The 9.4 percent decline in petroleum import prices in July was the largest monthly decrease in the index since December 1993. Prices for nonpetroleum imports resumed moving upward in July, rising 0.4 percent after falling for the first time in over a year in June. The price index for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials led the turnaround, rising 1.0 percent in July after falling 0.3 percent in June. This index was up 12.3 percent over the past year after having risen only 3.2 percent in the prior 12 months. Each of the import price indexes for finished goods rose in July after posting little or no change the month before. The price indexes for imported automotive vehicles, capital goods, and consumer goods were up 0.3, 0.2, and 0.1 percent, respectively. In June, imported automotive vehicles prices had fallen 0.1 percent, while prices for imported capital and consumer goods had remained unchanged. The price index for imported foods, feeds, and beverages was up 0.2 percent in July after falling 0.9 percent in June. Export Goods The increase of 0.3 percent in export prices was led by agricultural export prices, which rose 3.6 percent in July, the largest increase in the index since a 5.2 percent rise in July 1993. In the past 12 months, prices for agricultural exports were up 13.3 percent. In contrast, the price index for nonagricultural exports fell 0.2 percent in July, the first monthly decline in 20 months. The decrease was driven by a continuing decline in the index for exported industrial supplies and materials, which fell 0.9 percent in July following a 0.3 percent decrease in June. Over the past 12 months, however, prices of industrial supplies and materials were still up 13.8 percent. The export price indexes for capital goods, consumer goods, and automotive vehicles all rose 0.1 percent in July. Imports by Locality of Origin Prices of goods imported from Japan rose 0.6 percent in July after remaining unchanged the month before. The July increase resumed an upward trend in this index which had risen 4.2 percent in the first 5 months of 1995. The price index of imports from the European Union continued to increase in July, moving up 0.3 percent. The increase followed a rise of 0.2 percent in June; over the past 12 months, the index was up 6.5 percent. Led by a 5.1 percent drop in the prices of nonmanufacured goods, the price index of goods imported from Canada fell 0.4 percent. Despite the decline in July, import prices from Canada were up 6.6 percent over a year ago. Prices of imports from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries were up 0.2 percent in July and have edged up 1.0 percent over the past 12 months.

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.
