Technical Information Jim Thomas (202) 606-7155 Bill Alterman (202) 606-7108 Media contact: Kathryn Hoyle (202) 606-5902 USDL-95-69 For release: 10:00 A.M. E.S.T. Friday, March 3, 1995 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -JANUARY 1995The U.S. Import Price Index increased 0.2 percent in January, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The index had been unchanged in December after advancing 0.7 percent in each of the previous 2 months. The U.S. Export Price Index rose 0.9 percent in January following gains of 0.7 percent in both of the preceding 2 months and 0.6 percent in October.

Import Goods The January upturn in import prices was primarily due to a turnaround in the index for petroleum imports. Prices for petroleum imports increased 1.2 percent in January after falling 2.1 percent in the previous month. Nonpetroleum import prices continued to record a modest gain in January, rising 0.1 percent. The increase was largely attributable to a 1.3 percent gain in the index for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials and a 0.7 percent rise in the foods, feeds, and beverages index. Over the past 12 months, these indexes have recorded significant gains of 9.9 and 15.0 percent, respectively. In contrast, import price indexes for each of the major finished goods components fell in January. Prices continued to move lower for capital goods, down 0.3 percent, and for automotive vehicles, parts, and engines, down 0.2 percent. The index for consumer goods, which had been unchanged in December, fell 0.1 percent this month. Export Goods Price increases for exports continued to accelerate, rising 0.9 percent in January, 2.8 percent over the past 4 months, and 4.0 percent for the year ended in January. The advance was led by the index for nonagricultural exports which continued its long upward trend, rising 0.9 percent this month, 2.7 percent over the past 4 months, and 4.9 percent for the year ended in January. Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials were up 2.3 percent in January and 16.4 percent for the year. In addition, all major finished good categories posted gains in January. Following decreases in December, the capital goods index increased 0.4 percent, and the consumer goods index rose 0.1 percent in January. For the year ended in January, however, capital goods prices were down 0.6 percent. The index for automotive vehicles, parts, and engines continued to increase, rising a modest 0.1 percent in January. In contrast, the index for agricultural exports was unchanged this month. Agricultural export prices were down 2.8 percent for the year, despite increasing 3.8 percent over the past 4 months. Imports by Country or Region of Origin The index for prices of imports from Japan posted a small turnaround in January, falling 0.2 percent. Despite the decrease, import prices from Japan rose 3.2 percent over the past 12 months. For the second consecutive month, prices for imported goods from the European Community fell, dropping 0.3 percent in January. Over the past 12 months, however, the index for imported goods from the European Community rose 4.4 percent. In contrast, the import index for the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries was unchanged in January and down 0.7 percent over the past year. Import prices from Canada continue to increase, rising 1.0 percent in January. For the year ended in January, the import price index from Canada rose 7.5 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.
