All Imports Excluding Fuel: Nonfuel import prices rose 0.7 percent in June, after advances of 0.9 percent 

in May, 0.8 percent in April, and 0.9 percent in March. In June, higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies 

and materials; foods, feeds, and beverages; consumer goods; and capital goods all contributed to the 

increase in nonfuel import prices. Prices for nonfuel imports rose 6.5 percent over the past 12 months, the 

largest over-the-year advance since the index increased 6.6 percent in August 2008. 

Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: The price index for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials 

rose 1.9 percent in June following a 4.9-percent advance in May. The June increase was led by higher prices 

for selected building materials, chemicals, and finished metals. 

Finished Goods: Prices for most of the major finished goods categories advanced in June. Consumer goods 

prices rose 0.4 percent, the largest 1-month increase since the index advanced 0.5 percent in February 2018. 

The price index for capital goods rose 0.2 percent in June and has not recorded a monthly decline since 

falling 0.3 percent in November 2019. Automotive vehicle prices recorded no change in June. 

Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Prices for import foods, feeds, and beverages increased 1.9 percent in June 

following a 0.3-percent drop in May. The June rise was led by a 9.3-percent advance in meat prices.

Chart 2. One-month and 12-month percent changes in the Export Price Index: June 2020 – June 2021 

Exports 

U.S. export prices increased 1.2 percent in June, after rising 6.0 percent from February to May. The price 

index for U.S. exports has not recorded a monthly decline since a 3.5-percent drop in April 2020. In June, 

higher prices for both agricultural and nonagricultural exports contributed to the overall advance in export 

prices. Prices for U.S. exports increased 16.8 percent from June 2020 to June 2021. The over-the-year 

advance in June followed a 17.5-percent rise for the year ended in May, which was the largest 12-month 

increase since the overall export price series was first published in September 1983. (See table 2.)

Agricultural Exports: Prices for agricultural exports advanced 1.5 percent in June following a 6.1-percent 

rise the previous month. Agricultural export prices have not recorded a monthly decline since a 2.2-percent 

decrease in August 2020. In June, a 10.6-percent advance in meat prices more than offset lower prices for 

corn, wheat, and soybeans. Prices for agricultural exports increased 33.5 percent over the past 12 months, 

primarily driven by higher soybean and corn prices. 

All Exports Excluding Agriculture: The price index for nonagricultural exports advanced 1.1 percent in 

June, after rising 1.8 percent in May and 1.2 percent in April. In June, higher prices for nonagricultural 

industrial supplies and materials; capital goods; consumer goods; automotive vehicles; and nonagricultural 

foods all contributed to the increase in nonagricultural export prices. Prices for nonagricultural exports 

advanced 15.0 percent over the past year. 

Nonagricultural Industrial Supplies and Materials: Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices 

increased 2.1 percent in June following a 4.3-percent rise the previous month. Both increases were primarily 

driven by higher fuel prices, which advanced 4.5 percent in June and 6.1 percent in May. The price index 

for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials rose 41.7 percent for the year ended in June. 

Finished Goods: Prices for each of the major finished goods categories increased in June. The price index 

for export capital goods advanced 0.4 percent for the month and increased 1.7 percent over the past year. 

The 12-month rise was the largest over-the-year advance since the index increased 1.9 percent for the year 

ended September 2018. Export consumer goods prices rose 1.0 percent in June, the largest monthly advance 

since a 1.2-percent increase in June 2011. Prices for automotive vehicles rose 0.1 percent in June, after 

declining 0.3 percent in May.

TECHNICAL NOTE

Import and Export Goods and Services Price Indexes - All indexes use a modified Laspeyres 

formula and are not seasonally adjusted. Price indexes are reweighted annually, with a 2-year lag in the 

weights. Published series use a base year of 2000=100 where possible. More detailed index series and 

additional information may be obtained at www.bls.gov/mxp or by calling (202) 691-7101. 

Merchandise Goods Classification Systems - The merchandise price indexes are published using three 

classification systems. Items are classified by end use according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis 

Classification System, by industry according to the North American Industry Classification System 

(NAICS), and by product category according to the Harmonized System (HS). While classification by 

end use and product category are self-explanatory, some notes are in order for classifying items by 

industry. In the NAICS imports and exports tables, items are classified by output industry, not input 

industry. As an example, NAICS import index 326 (plastics and rubber products manufacturing) 

includes outputs such as manufactured plastic rather than inputs such as petroleum. The NAICS 

classification structure also matches the classification system used by the Producer Price Index (PPI) to 

produce the NAICS primary products indexes.

Import Price Goods Indexes - Items are classified by the 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 Goods Indexes - Items are classified by the 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. 

Services Price Indexes - Indexes for import and export air passenger fares calculate changes in the 

average revenue received per passenger by foreign carriers from U.S. residents and by U.S. carriers from 

foreign residents, respectively. Data are obtained from an airline consulting service and report on tickets 

sold by travel agencies, travel websites, and directly by the airlines. Taxes and fees are included in both 

the import and export air passenger fares indexes. Import air passenger fares data have used the airline 

consulting service source since September 2008. Before April 2018, the export air passenger fares data 

were collected directly by BLS from U.S. airlines. The air freight indexes are calculated from data 

collected directly from airlines. These data exclude mail and passenger baggage. The scope of the 

service being priced is the movement of freight from airport to airport only, and does not include any 

ground transportation or port service. The air freight indexes are presented using two definitions: 

balance of payments (which represents transactions between U.S. and foreign residents) and 

international (which represents transactions inbound to and outbound from the United States.) Fact 

sheets specifying detailed information for each services industry are available at www.bls.gov/mxp 

under "MXP Publications." 
18 

Import Price Indexes by Locality of Origin - Prices used in these indexes are a subset of the data 

collected for the import price indexes. The indexes are specific to a country, region, or grouping and, 

beginning with January 2002, are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

covering goods-producing industries. Nonmanufactured goods are defined as NAICS 11 and 21, and 

manufactured goods are defined as NAICS 31-33. 

Export Price Indexes by Locality of Destination - Prices used in these indexes are a subset of the data 

collected for the export price indexes. The indexes are specific to a country, region, or grouping and are 

based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) covering goods-producing 

industries. Nonmanufactured goods are defined as NAICS 11 and 21, and manufactured goods are 

defined as NAICS 31-33. 

Terms of Trade Indexes - Terms of trade indexes measure the relative price of exports in terms of 

import prices for a specific country, region, or grouping. The indexes are calculated as one country, 

region, or grouping’s all-export goods price index divided by the corresponding all-import goods price 

index on a scale of 100. 

 

Relative Importance - A relative importance is a specific index’s price-updated value share (expressed 

as a percentage) of overall imports or exports at a specific point in time. Relative importance values are 

affected by the trade weights at the point indexes are reweighted and index changes relative to other 

indexes since the reweight point. If an index is rising in value relative to other indexes over time, the 

relative importance will increase as well. 

Revision Policy - To reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents, monthly data 

may be revised in each of the 3 months after original publication. After 3 months, no further data 

revisions take place. For example, data first published in the January release will be subject to revision 

in the releases for February, March, and April. 

Rounding Policy - Index values are rounded to the tenth decimal place after being calculated. All 

percent changes are then derived from the rounded index values and subsequently rounded to the tenth 

decimal place. 

Uses of the Data - The primary use of the indexes is to deflate trade statistics, notably the foreign trade 

sector of the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) constructed by the Department of 

Commerce. Other published indexes are useful for general market analysis. For trade in international 

services, balance of payments indexes are used for deflating NIPA, while international indexes are more 

appropriate for market analysis. 

Email Subscription - The U.S. import and export price indexes news release is available through an 

email subscription service at www.bls.gov/bls/list.htm. 

 

Additional Information - More detailed data are available on the Import/Export Price Indexes home 

page at www.bls.gov/mxp. For import and export price indexes data requests, send an email to 

mxpinfo@bls.gov. 

Information from this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.
