U.S. import prices increased 1.1 percent in September, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today, 
following a 0.5-percent rise in August. Higher prices for nonfuel imports and fuel imports drove the advance 
in September. Prices for U.S. exports increased 2.2 percent in September after rising 1.2 percent the 
previous month.

Imports

Import prices advanced 1.1 percent in September following an increase of 0.5 percent in August. Prices for 
U.S. imports rose 8.1 percent from September 2025 to September 2026, the largest 12-month advance since 
the index increased 8.8 percent for the year ended July 2022. (See table 1.)

Fuel Imports: Prices for import fuel increased 4.8 percent in September following decreases of 0.2 percent 
in August and 6.8 percent in July. In September, higher prices for petroleum and petroleum products as well 
as natural gas drove the advance. Import prices for petroleum and petroleum products increased 4.6 percent, 
and prices for import natural gas rose 1.6 percent. From September 2025 to September 2026, fuel import 
prices increased 34.5 percent, the price index for import petroleum and petroleum products advanced 35.4 
percent, and prices for import natural gas increased 96.5 percent. The over-the-year rise for import natural 
gas prices was the largest such movement since the index advanced 149.5 percent for the year ended June 
2022.

All Imports Excluding Fuel: Prices for nonfuel imports increased 0.7 percent in September and have not 
declined on a monthly basis since August 2025. Higher prices for capital goods; nonfuel industrial supplies 
and materials; consumer goods, excluding automotives; as well as automotive vehicles, parts and engines 
drove the increase in September. Nonfuel import prices rose 6.0 percent from September 2025 to September 
2026, the largest over-the-year increase since the index advanced 7.2 percent for the 12-month period ended 
April 2022. Higher prices for capital goods; nonfuel industrial supplies and materials; consumer goods, 
excluding automotives; foods, feeds, and beverages; and automotive vehicles, parts, and engines drove the 
12-month increase for the year ended in September.

Foods, Feeds, and Beverages: Import prices for foods, feeds, and beverages were unchanged in September 
following a decrease of 0.6 percent in August. Higher prices for vegetables, green coffee, and fruit offset 
lower prices for cane and beet sugar as well as fish and shellfish in September.

Nonfuel Industrial Supplies and Materials: Import prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials 
increased 1.4 percent in September after a 1.3-percent advance in August. Higher prices for finished metals 
shapes and advanced manufacturing; finished nonmetals (boxes, belting, glass, etc.); and agricultural 
products used for industrial supplies and materials drove the increase in September.

Finished Goods: Prices for the major finished goods import categories were up in September. Import capital 
goods prices rose 0.9 percent for the second consecutive month in September. Higher prices for computers, 
peripherals, and semiconductors as well as industrial and service machinery more than offset lower prices 
for scientific and medical machinery. In September, import prices for automotive vehicles, parts, and 
engines increased 0.3 percent, and the price index for import consumer goods, excluding automotives, rose 
0.4 percent over the same period.

					     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 (HTS). 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. 

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. 

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. 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.) 

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.
