Import Prices
From Wiki:
The United States Import Price Index is published by the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is part of the Office of Prices and Living Conditions. It began as an annual publication, publishing its first index in 1973. It began publishing on a quarterly basis in 1974. A major program milestone occurred in 1982 when the Office of Management and Budget placed the IPP indexes on its list of Principal Federal Economic Indicators together with the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index. In January 1993, the IPP began the monthly publication of merchandise indexes. The IPP is constantly expanding in its mission to measure the import and export of goods and services to/from the U.S.
The IPP publishes indexes on merchandize categories and selected categories of services. Currently, the IPP publishes monthly air passenger, air freight, ocean liner, and ocean tanker service indexes.
