Thursday, September 29, 1994 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -AUGUST 1994- U.S. import prices increased 0.6 percent in August, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The increase followed a 1.0 percent advance in July. Export prices were up 0.2 percent in August.

Import Goods The moderation in import prices in August was attributable to a deceleration in increases in petroleum prices, which rose 0.8 percent in August after advancing more than 5.0 percent in each of the 4 previous months. During the first 8 months of 1994, import prices were up 4.7 percent. Prices of nonpetroleum imports rose 0.6 percent for the second consecutive month and were up 3.0 percent over the past 12 months. The increase was led by the index for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials--up 1.1 percent--and by a rise in the index for imported capital goods. The 0.6 percent increase in capital goods prices was partially attributable to the falling value of the U.S. dollar and was the largest advance in this index since May 1993. Imported food, feeds, and beverages prices continued a recent upward trend related to higher coffee prices; the index rose 2.3 percent in August compared with a 4.3 percent rise in July and a 14.6 percent increase over the past year. Also contributing to the increase in nonpetroleum imports were the indexes for automotive vehicles and consumer goods, up 0.4 percent and 0.1 percent, respectively. Export Goods The 0.2 percent increase in export prices followed a similar increase in July. Prices for nonagricultural exports advanced 0.3 percent, while prices for agricultural exports continued to fall, down 1.1 percent after declining 2.2 and 2.3 percent in June and July, respectively. During the first 8 months of 1994, export prices were up 1.7 percent. The rise in nonagricultural export prices was again led by increases in the price index for industrial supplies and materials, up 1.4 percent. Over the 12-month period ended in August, exported industrial supplies and materials prices were up 7.9 percent. The price index for exported consumer goods also was up in August, rising a modest 0.1 percent after falling in each of the 2 previous months. In contrast, exported capital goods fell 0.4 percent in August. For the year ended in August, capital goods prices were down 0.7 percent. The index for exported automotive vehicles, parts, and engines continued to show little movement and was unchanged in August. Imports by Country or Region of Origin The price index for imports from Japan moved up 1.0 percent in August due in part to the yen's appreciation against the U.S. dollar. The increase represented an acceleration of the recent upward trend in this index. For the year ended in August, prices of imports from Japan were up 4.6 percent. Price increases for goods from the European Community and Canada also were advancing in August, up 0.5 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively. Over the past 12 months, prices of imports from the European Community were up 2.4 percent, and prices of imports from Canada were up 3.2 percent. In contrast, the price index of goods imported from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries continued to move lower in August. The index fell 0.1 percent for the fourth consecutive month and was down 0.7 percent over the past year.

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.
