Thursday, January 18, 1996 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -NOVEMBER 1995The U.S. Import Price Index rose 0.2 percent in November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The increase followed a 0.4 percent decrease in October. The U.S. Export Price Index fell 0.2 percent in November, after advancing 0.1 percent in each of the previous 2 months.

Import Goods Petroleum import prices increased for the second time in 3 months, up 0.9 percent in November; however, the index has declined 10.6 percent since May. Fuel prices basically were unchanged from a year ago despite volatile monthly fluctuations. Nonpetroleum imports also advanced in November, edging up 0.1 percent after falling 0.3 percent in October and 0.2 percent in September. Contributing to the November price increase for nonpetroleum imports was a 0.4 percent rise in prices for capital goods, a marked turnaround from the 0.6 percent and 0.7 percent declines posted in October and September, respectively. Other import indexes recording gains in November after declining for at least 2 consecutive months were the index for food, feeds, and beverages, up 0.3 percent, and the consumer goods index, edging up 0.1 percent. Automotive prices were unchanged in November after advancing 0.3 percent in both October and September. In contrast, the import price index for industrial supplies and materials excluding petroleum fell 0.4 percent in November. The decline was largely attributable to price decreases for metals and selected building materials. Export Goods Agricultural export prices rose 2.2 percent in November after increasing 1.9 percent in October and 3.0 percent in September. For the year ended in November 1995, the index increased 19.1 percent after having increased only 0.3 percent in the November 1993-94 period. In contrast, the price index for nonagricultural exports fell for the fifth consecutive month, declining 0.5 percent in November. The decrease was led by a continuing decline in the index for export industrial supplies and materials which fell 1.2 percent in November and an average of 1.0 percent over the previous 4 months. Each of the export price indexes for finished goods posted little or no change in November. The index for capital goods was unchanged in November after falling 0.1 percent in the previous month. Both the automotive vehicles and consumer goods indexes rose 0.2 percent in November after recording gains in October of 1.0 percent and 0.1 percent, respectively. Imports by Locality of Origin Import prices from Japan rose 0.3 percent in November, after decreasing on average 0.6 percent over the previous 3 months. For the year ended in November, the index was up 3.4 percent. The import price index for Canada also turned around in November, gaining a modest 0.1 percent after falling 0.5 percent in October. Over the past 12 months, import prices from Canada rose 4.8 percent. Prices of goods imported from the European Union rose 0.7 percent in November after remaining relatively unchanged over the previous 3 months. Import prices from the European Union rose 4.3 percent over the past 12 months. Import prices from the Asian Newly Industrialized countries were unchanged in November and advanced 1.2 percent over the past year.

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 Locality 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.
