In order to help users assess the precision of the U.S. import and export price index series, BLS is now providing variance estimates for these figures. These estimates include values from 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. The plan in the future is to release results on an annual basis in May. Currently, the data are only calculated for the all-import and all-export series. In the future, however, the published variance estimates will also be made available at a more detailed level.
