Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a final rule (FR Doc. 2026-17231) removing two Hong Kong Science Park / Kwai Chung addresses from the Entity List entry for Arrow Electronics (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. under the destination of China. The Hong Kong entity itself remains listed; only the two named addresses are dropped as recognized locations for that entry. Effective August 21, 2026. This is the second narrowing of the Arrow Electronics Entity List footprint in under a year, following the November 2025 removal of Arrow China Electronics Trading Co., Ltd. and six aliases.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a final rule (FR Doc. 2025-19858; 90 FR 50858) removing Arrow China Electronics Trading Co., Ltd. from the Entity List under the destination of China and removing six aliases associated with Arrow Electronics (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (which itself remains listed but with a narrower alias footprint). The End-User Review Committee (ERC) made the decision by unanimous vote on the basis of information received pursuant to 15 CFR §744.16 regarding the relationships of the aliases and the parties' commitments to enhance export-compliance measures. Effective November 10, 2025.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding 18 persons to the Unverified List (UVL) and removing 5. Of the 18 additions, 5 are under China, 6 under Finland, 3 under Türkiye, 2 under Kazakhstan, 1 under Italy, and 1 under the United Kingdom — a geographic distribution dominated by Russia-adjacent diversion corridors. UVL placement does not impose a license-denial presumption (unlike the Entity List) but suspends use of EAR license exceptions for shipments to listed parties and requires US exporters to obtain a UVL Statement before exporting any item subject to the EAR. The rule was published and effective the same day, 25 April 2025 (90 FR 17339).
BIS published a CFR correction to the Entity List (15 CFR Part 744, Supplement No. 4) fixing the entry for Kaliningradnefteprodukt OOO, a Russian petroleum products distributor based in Kaliningrad originally designated in February 2018 under Executive Order 13662 for operating in Russia's energy sector and being controlled by a sanctioned person. The correction updates the entity's name spelling and address details; the underlying license requirement (all EAR items for use in §746.5 Russian industry sector projects, presumption of denial) remains unchanged.
The US Bureau of Industry and Security added 14 entities across Russia, Germany, and Switzerland to the Entity List under 15 CFR Part 744, effective March 4, 2021. Ten Russian entities — including the 27th Scientific Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense (associated with Russia's chemical weapons activities) and nine members of the Chimmed Group distribution network (Chimmed Group, Femteco, Interlab, LabInvest, OOO Analit Products, OOO Intertech Instruments, Pharmcontract GC, Rau Farm, Regionsnab) — were listed for proliferation activities supporting Russia's WMD programs. Three German entities (Chimconnect GmbH, Pharmcontract GmbH, Riol-Chemie) and one Swiss entity (Chimconnect AG) were simultaneously listed as foreign-front nodes in the same procurement network. A license is required for all EAR-subject items; no license exceptions apply. The rule also corrects six pre-existing entries (one Germany, five China).
