Summary
February 2017 -- The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics periodically modifies the "MXP" dataset (33 new monthly series from 2016, two monthly series discontinued 2014-2016).
Detail

In the source's report of monthly report of export and import price indices, many components have been added under the NAICS, BEA end use, and Harmonized System (HS) classifications. They are indexed to December 2016, are not seasonally adjusted (NSA), and start at December 2016. The series reside in the historical catalog (United States » Trade » Export & Import Prices Indexes) and include, for example:

  • PEN316.IUSA   = Export price index: NAICS - Leather and allied product manufacturing, (Index Dec2016=100, NSA)
  • PEB00350.IUSA = Export price index: BEA end use - Bakery and confectionery products
  • PIH6402.IUSA  = Import price index: Harmonized System - Footwear; with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics

The source has also terminated two series because they failed to meet criteria for publication. Both are classified under HS, are indexed to December 2014, and run from December 2014 to December 2016. They are:

  • PEH41M.IUSA   = [DISCONTINUED] Raw hides and skins other than furskins and leather, (Index Dec2014=100, NSA)
  • PEH7326M.IUSA = [DISCONTINUED] Other articles of iron and steel

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
