Friday, May 27, 1994 (202) 606-5902 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -APRIL 1994- The U.S. Import Price Index rose 0.8 percent in April led by higher petroleum prices, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The index of U.S. export prices edged up 0.1 percent in April.

Import Goods Import prices advanced for the fourth month in a row. For the 12months ended in April, however, the index for U.S. imports was down 0.5 percent. After declining for most of 1993, petroleum imports increased for the second time in 3 months, up 4.5 percent in April. For the year ended in April, fuel prices declined by 21.0 percent. Nonpetroleum prices continued to move higher in April, rising 0.4 percent. Combined with a March increase of 0.3 percent, the 0.7 percent rise over the last 2 months marked a slight acceleration in nonpetroleum prices. All of the major end-use categories rose during the month of April. The increase in nonpetroleum imports was led by a 0.9 percent increase in automotive vehicles--the largest monthly increase since the index rose 1.1 percent in October. The index for industrial supplies and materials, excluding petroleum, advanced 0.4 percent in April. For the second consecutive month, foods, feeds, and beverages prices increased by 1.0 percent; over the last 12 months, this index was up 5.8 percent. Continuing to post more modest increases during April were the indexes for capital goods and consumer goods, excluding automotives; both were up 0.2 percent. Export Goods The increase in export prices was led by a 0.3 percent rise in the index for nonagricultural commodities, which has been increasing since January after trending lower during the second half of 1993. This recent increase was partially attributable to advances in the index for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, up 0.9 percent in April and 3.4 percent since December. Consumer goods export prices rose 0.2 percent in April, led by a 0.6 percent increase in the index for consumer durables. Moderating the increases in export prices was the index of agricultural export prices, down 1.9 percent in April. The decline represents the largest 1-month drop in the price of export agricultural commodities since last June. Despite declines in 2 of the last 3 months, the index for agricultural prices was up 8.0 percent over the year ended in April. Other export indexes showing declines in April were the capital goods index--down 0.1 percent for the fifth consecutive month--and the index for automotive vehicles, also down 0.1 percent. Imports by Country or Region of Origin Prices of imported goods from Japan rose 0.3 percent, on average, during the month of April, half the 0.6 percent increase posted in March. Since April 1993, prices of goods from Japan have risen 6.0 percent. After registering comparatively little movement during the preceding 12-month period, prices of goods imported from the European Community rose 0.6 percent in April. The price index of import goods from Canada also rose in April, up 0.3 percent. Over the past year, however, import prices from Canada are down 1.1 percent. After declining by 0.1 percent and 0.3 percent in March and February, respectively, goods imported from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries posted a 0.1 percent increase in April. For the year ended in April, this index remains down, falling 0.6 percent over the period.

In addition to the 57 new series which were incorporated into the monthly release, approximately 400 additional monthly indexes also are available on request. For ordering information, please see the Technical Note or the IPP Order Form in the back of this release. TECHNICAL NOTE Import and Export Merchandise and Services Price Indexes -- All indexes use a modified Laspeyres formula and are weighted with 1990 trade weights. 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 Country 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.
