Friday, February 25, 1994 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -JANUARY 1994- The U.S. Import Price Index edged down 0.1 percent in January, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The decline followed larger decreases in the 2 preceding months. In contrast, the U.S. Export Price Index rose 0.7 percent in January, the largest 1-month increase in this series in nearly 2 years.

Import Goods The continued decline in import prices in January again was attributable to lower fuel prices, as the index for imported petroleum fell for the eighth time in the past 9 months. The 2.9 percent decline, however, was considerably more modest than the 10.5 percent drop registered in December. Since last April, this index has dropped 27.1 percent. In contrast, the index for nonpetroleum imports continued its generally modest upward trend in January, rising 0.3 percent. This followed a 0.1 percent increase in December, a 0.1 percent dip in November, and a 0.4 percent rise in October. The increase in the index for nonpetroleum imports was led by a continuing rise in prices of nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials--up 0.6 percent in January after a 0.9 percent advance in December--as well as a 0.4 percent increase in the price of imported automotive vehicles. In addition, the index for foods, feeds, and beverages rose 0.5 percent in the past month. In contrast, the index for capital goods, which had declined in each of the 2 previous months, was unchanged in January, while prices for imported consumer goods (excluding autos) slipped 0.1 percent. Export Goods The January advance in export prices was led by a continuing rise in prices for exported agricultural commodities, up 2.5 percent. This marked the third month in a row this group--which accounts for approximately 10 percent of U.S. exports--posted an increase of between 2 and 3 percent. In addition, the index for nonagricultural exports, which had changed by no more than 0.1 percent in each of the 5 preceding months, rose 0.3 percent in January. The latter increase was partially attributable to the relatively large rise (0.9 percent) in the index for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, as well as higher than average increases (both 0.4 percent) in the indexes for consumer goods and automotive vehicles. In contrast, the index for capital goods, which constitute 40 percent of U.S. exports, slipped 0.1 percent for the second month in a row. Imports by Country or Region of Origin For the second month in a row, the index for prices of imported Japanese goods--which had increased steadily throughout most of 1993-registered little movement, edging up 0.1 percent in January after slipping 0.1 percent in the previous month. Prices for goods from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries also edged up 0.1 percent in January, marking the eighth consecutive month this series has fluctuated by 0.1 percent or less. Prices for imports from the European Community rose 0.3 percent in January after dropping 0.8 percent in December and 0.5 percent in November. In contrast, the index for Canadian goods fell 0.4 percent in January, primarily due to lower prices among nonmanufactured goods.

In addition to the 57 new series which have been incorporated into this release, approximately 400 additional monthly indexes now 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 7,100 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.
