U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES
-JULY 1994-

U.S. import prices rose 1.1 percent in July, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The
advance was the largest one-month increase since October 1990 and was
attributable primarily to a continued rise in petroleum and coffee
prices. The Export Price Index rose 0.3 percent in July.

Import Goods
The July rise in import prices followed advances of 0.8 to 0.9
percent in each of the 3 preceding months. The recent increases have
been led by petroleum prices, which rose 7.0 percent in July after
increasing between 5.3 percent and 8.4 percent in each of the 3
preceding months. Petroleum prices had fallen sharply during the
last half of 1993.
Prices of nonpetroleum imports rose 0.5 percent in July,
somewhat more than the average monthly increase during the first half
of the year. This slight acceleration was primarily attributable to
a 4.4 percent rise in foods, feeds, and beverages due to a surge in
the index for coffee prices. Coffee prices advanced nearly 50
percent in July after rising a similar amount from March to June. In
addition, prices of imported industrial supplies and materials,
excluding petroleum, rose 0.6 percent in July as prices for paper and
paper base stocks continued to post substantial increases.
In contrast, the indexes for import prices for capital goods, up
0.1 percent, and automotive vehicles, unchanged, continued to
register comparatively little movement in July. Prices for imported
consumer goods, however, edged up 0.3 percent in July--attributable
to a 0.5 percent increase in the index for nondurable consumer goods.

Export Goods
The 0.3 percent increase in export prices in July reflected a 0.6
percent advance in the index for nonagricultural exports, the largest
increase in this component in nearly 4 years. In contrast,

agricultural export prices continued to move lower in July, decreasing
2.1 percent after falling 2.2 percent in the previous month.
The slight acceleration in prices of nonagricultural exports in
July was led by a 1.8 percent advance in the index for industrial
supplies and materials, which in turn was primarily attributable to a
10 percent rise in prices of paper and paper base stocks.
In contrast, the indexes for exported finished goods continued to
show comparatively little movement. Prices of exported capital goods,
the largest component of U.S. exports, were unchanged for the second
month in a row in July, while the index for consumer goods also was
unchanged.
The index for automotive vehicles edged up 0.1 percent in
July, equaling its June advance.
The index for foods, feeds, and beverages fell 2.4 percent in
July, following a 3.0 percent drop in June, as grain prices continued
to decline.

Imports by Country or Region of Origin
The price index for imports from Japan resumed its recent
modest upward movement in July, advancing 0.3 percent after being
unchanged in June.
Price increases for goods from the European Community
accelerated slightly in July, up 0.7 percent, compared with advances
of between 0.3 percent and 0.5 percent during each of the preceding 3
months.
Canadian goods posted a 0.6 percent increase last month-primarily due to continued higher prices among nonmanufactured goods-following increases of 1.1 and 0.8 percent in the 2 prior months.
In contrast to price trends from other areas, the price index of
goods imported from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries
continued to move lower in July. The modest 0.1 percent decline
marked the sixth month in a row this index either declined or was
unchanged.

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.
