A continued rise in petroleum prices was the primary contributor to the advance in import prices. The petroleum price index increased 3.7 percent in July and 4.2 percent in June and was up 11.6 percent over the past 12 months. The price index for nonpetroleum imports edged up 0.1 percent in July and was up 1.2 percent over the July 2002-2003 period. Overall imports rose 2.1 percent over the past year. The July increase in the nonpetroleum price index was attributable to increases in prices for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials and for foods, feeds, and beverages. Building materials and finished metals prices led the increase for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials prices, which rose 0.6 percent in July and 7.8 percent over the past 12 months. The price index for foods, feeds, and beverages—led by prices for meat and fish—increased 0.9 percent in July. The index rose 5.3 percent over the past year. Prices for the finished goods categories either fell slightly or were unchanged. Led by declining computer prices, the price index for imported capital goods dipped 0.1 percent in July after increasing 0.2 percent in June. Capital goods prices fell 1.4 percent over the July 2002-2003 period. Consumer goods prices also edged down 0.1 percent in July following a 0.3 percent rise in June and were down a modest 0.1 percent over the past 12 months. Prices for imported automotive vehicles, parts, and engines were unchanged last month and were up 0.6 percent for the year ended in July. Export Goods The July decrease in overall export prices was led by the fourth straight decline for the nonagricultural exports price index. Nonagricultural export prices declined 0.1 percent in July but were still up 0.7 percent over the past 12 months. Prices for agricultural exports were unchanged in July as declining wheat and corn prices were countered by rising prices for exported vegetables. The price index for agricultural exports was up 6.3 percent for the year ended in July. Overall export prices were up 1.1 percent over the same period. The price index for industrial supplies and materials fell 0.3 percent in July—the third decline in the past four months—led by a drop in chemicals prices. Despite the declines, industrial supplies and materials prices were up 4.4 percent for the year ended in July. Prices for each of the major finished goods categories were unchanged in July. The price index for capital goods was down 0.8 percent for the year ended in July. The price indexes for automotive vehicles, parts, and engines and for consumer goods—which continued a trend of little or no movement—were up 0.7 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively, over the past 12 months. 3 Imports by Locality of Origin The price index for imports from Canada was up 1.4 percent in July. Increases in prices for lumber and petroleum contributed to the July rise. Over the past 12 months, the index was up 6.1 percent. Prices for imports from the European Union and from Latin America also posted increases in July, rising 0.8 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively. For the year ended in July, the price indexes for both the European Union and Latin America were up 3.0 percent. In contrast, prices for imports from Japan and the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries were unchanged in July. Over the past 12 months, the indexes fell 1.3 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively.

Not available 17 TECHNICAL NOTE Import and Export Merchandise and Services Price Indexes -- All indexes use a modified Laspeyres formula and are weighted with 2000 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 2000=100 where possible. Net transaction price data are collected every month for over 20,000 products from over 6,000 companies and secondary sources. Indexes are not seasonally adjusted. More detailed index series and additional information may be obtained from the Division of International Prices, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2 Massachusetts Avenue N.E., PSB 3955, Washington, DC 20212 or (202) 691-7101. Import Price Indexes -- Products have been classified by the 2000 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. Export Price Indexes -- Products have been classified by the 2000 Harmonized Schedule B classification system of the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The prices used are generally either "free alongside ship" (f.a.s.) factory or "free on board" (f.o.b.) 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 Locality of Origin -- Prices used in these indexes are a subset of the data collected for the Import Price Indexes. Beginning with January 2002, the indexes are defined by locality of origin using a nomenclature based upon the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). Nonmanufactured goods are defined as NAICS 11 and 21, and manufactured goods are defined as NAICS 31-33. The indexes use 2000 weights and a base of 2000=100. Import, Export, and International Services Indexes -- Indexes for air passenger fares and crude oil tanker freight are calculated on a monthly basis. Indexes for air freight and ocean liner freight are calculated 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 the publication of these indexes is lagged two months. Revision Policy -- To reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents, monthly data may be revised in each of the three months after original publication and quarterly data may be revised one quarter after original publication. 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 U.S. 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 also can 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. 18 The import and export news release contains monthly price indexes at the two-digit level of detail.
