Friday, October 28, 1994 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -SEPTEMBER 1994- Led by a sharp drop in petroleum prices, U.S. import prices declined 0.8 percent in September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. In contrast, export prices rose 0.4 percent in September.

Import Goods The 0.8 percent drop in import prices was the first monthly decline since December, and, for the year ended in September, the index was up 2.6 percent. The monthly decline was largely due to a 10.2 percent decrease in the price of imported petroleum. The petroleum decrease followed a 1.1 percent decline in August and partially reversed the recent trend of advancing fuel prices, which had risen 26.4 percent between March and July. Nonpetroleum import prices continued to move upward in September, rising 0.3 percent. The advance, however, was a moderation from the 0.7 and 0.5 percent increases posted in August and July, respectively. Over the past year, the index was up 3.1 percent . Much of the September increase was driven by a 1.2 percent advance in the index of imported nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials. The upward movement in this index followed slightly smaller increases in each of the 3 preceding months. The index for imported foods, feeds, and beverages rose 0.4 percent in September, the smallest monthly advance since March as coffee prices flattened out. The indexes of imported automotive vehicles and consumer goods each rose a slight 0.1 percent in September. In contrast, the index of imported capital goods fell 0.1 percent in September, the first monthly decline in this index since February. Export Goods Export prices were up 0.4 percent in September following 3 months of relatively little change. Over the first 9 months of the year, the index was up 2.0 percent. Both nonagricultural and agricultural exports contributed to the increase in overall export prices, rising 0.3 and 0.5 percent, respectively. The 0.3 percent advance in the index of nonagricultural exports was the same as the average monthly increase in this index in the first 9 months of 1994. In contrast, the advance in agricultural exports reversed the downward movement seen in this index in the 3 months prior to September. The index had fallen 5.5 percent over the 3 previous months and was down 4.0 over the first 9 months of 1994. The rise in export prices was again largely driven by the index for industrial supplies and materials, up 0.9 percent in September. The increase in industrial supplies and materials was somewhat smaller than the 1.1 - 1.7 percent rises seen in the 3 prior months. The index was up 9.2 percent over the past 12 months. Also contributing to the advance in exports were the indexes for consumer goods and automotive vehicles, up 0.2 and 0.1 percent, respectively. The index for exported capital goods continued to record little movement and was unchanged in September. For the year ended in September, the index was down 0.8 percent. Imports by Country or Region of Origin The price index for imports from Japan fell 0.2 percent in September, the first monthly decline in this index since last December. For the year ended in September, however, prices of goods from Japan were up 3.3 percent. Prices for goods coming from Canada also declined in September, falling 0.1 percent. In contrast, imports coming from the European Community were up 0.6 percent over the month. For the year ended in September, both indexes had risen 3.1 percent. Prices of goods imported from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries again were relatively flat, posting no change for the month of September. This index has gradually declined, falling 0.8 percent over the past 12 months. International Services Air Transportation The U.S. Carrier and Foreign Carrier Air Passenger Fares Indexes both registered increases for the third consecutive quarter this year. The 1.4 percent increase in the U.S. Carrier Index and the 3.1 percent rise in the Foreign Carrier Index were primarily attributable to seasonal increases in the Atlantic region. The Inbound Air Freight index edged up slightly this quarter, posting a 0.5 percent increase. This increase was influenced by a 3.9 percent rise in the Atlantic region moderated by a 0.9 percent decline in the Pacific region. While the rate of increase on the inbound side eased somewhat compared with last quarter, the Outbound Air Freight Index was unchanged. Ocean Transportation The Inbound Ocean Liner Freight Index fell slightly this quarter, down 0.6 percent, after posting increases in the preceding 2 quarters. The U.S East Coast Region and the U.S. West Coast Region contributed to this decline, falling 0.3 and 0.8 percent respectively. The Inbound Crude Tanker Freight Index continued its downward movement of this year with a 3.9 percent decrease in the third quarter. This drop was due to a 4.2 percent decline in the Gulf region and a 1.3 percent decrease in the Atlantic region.

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.
