Friday, March 31, 1995 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -FEBRUARY 1995The U.S. Import Price Index rose 0.6 percent in February, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The index had increased 0.3 percent in January after declining 0.1 percent in December. The U.S. Export Price Index also rose 0.6 percent in February, following increases of 0.9 percent in January and 0.7 percent in each of the 2 preceding months.

Import Goods The increase in import prices was relatively broad as the index for petroleum rose 2.1 percent in February after gaining 0.9 percent in the previous month, while the index for nonpetroleum imports advanced 0.5 percent, the largest 1 month gain in this component since October 1994. The upturn in nonpetroleum prices, which increased 0.2 percent in January, continued to be led by higher prices for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials, which rose 1.3 percent for the second month in a row and 11.3 percent overall during the past 12 months. In addition, average prices for the major finished goods indexes all posted increases in February after edging down recently. Prices for imported capital goods, which had declined in each of the 3 preceding months, rose 0.3 percent in February, while the index for imported automobiles also rose 0.3 percent after decreasing during the 2 prior months. Consumer goods prices advanced 0.4 percent in February, following a 0.1 percent decline in January. In contrast, prices for foods, feeds, and beverages declined 1.1 percent in February after increasing during the 2 prior months; however, prices in this category are 14.4 percent higher than a year ago. Export Goods Higher export prices were reflected in both major components of U.S. exports as the index for nonagricultural commodities continued its recent series of moderate increases, advancing 0.6 percent, while prices for agricultural exports rose 0.5 percent after edging down 0.1 percent in January. The increase in nonagricultural export prices was again highlighted by advances in nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, which increased 1.5 percent in February and 17.0 during the past 12 months. In addition, prices for consumer goods and automotive vehicles both posted increases of 0.3 percent in February, slightly larger than the average monthly increases recorded by each series during the past year. In contrast, prices for capital goods exports were unchanged in February after recording a comparatively large 0.5 percent increase in January. Imports by Country or Region of Origin Prices for imported goods from the European Community posted a 0.8 percent increase in February after declining in each of the 2 preceding months. In the year ended in February, the index for imported goods from the European Community rose 5.3 percent. Prices for goods from the other major country or regional sectors (Canada, Japan, and the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries) advanced 0.3 percent, on average, in February. During the year ended in February, prices for goods from Canada were up 7.2 percent, while those from Japan rose 3.5 percent. In contrast, items from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries declined 0.2 percent.

In addition to the 19 new series which were incorporated into the monthly release, approximately 100 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.
