On 8 January 2026, NHAI published a Request for Proposal (tender ref. MPDIV-2101...) for a road-construction project in Madhya Pradesh state, valued by Global Trade Alert at INR 1,662.93 crore (~USD 190m). The tender embeds a domestic-supplier preference margin under India's Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order, 2017, giving a bid-evaluation advantage to Class-I local suppliers across civil-engineering, general-construction, and supporting-services categories. GTA records the intervention as announced/implemented 8 January 2026.

On 8 January 2026, the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) launched the Abu Dhabi Global Water Platform, committing an initial USD 1 billion (AED 3.67 billion) of state development finance over five years (2026-2030), with a stated ambition to mobilize USD 2 billion (AED 7.34 billion) total alongside local and international financing institutions. The platform finances water-security and water-infrastructure projects in developing countries via direct development financing, private-sector investment support, export financing, guarantees, and equity investments, targeting roughly 10 million beneficiaries worldwide; no specific recipient countries or named projects were disclosed at launch. Global Trade Alert classifies the initiative as "certainly harmful" financial assistance in a foreign market and trade finance (state-act 96013), consistent with its treatment of ADFD's prior export-financing vehicles as state-directed outbound subsidy rather than neutral aid.

Presidential Decree No. 10813 (Resmî Gazete, 7 January 2026, issue 33130) amends Article 62 of Türkiye's Customs Law implementation decree (Decision 2009/15481) to abolish the simplified customs declaration regime for individual low-value imports arriving by post or express courier. Previously, shipments up to EUR 30 (inclusive of freight) qualified for a flat-rate, simplified declaration; from 6 February 2026 all such imports — regardless of value — must clear through standard customs procedures and the ordinary tariff schedule. Prescription medicines and medical supplements remain under the simplified regime up to EUR 1,500.

Decision No. 582 of 2025 of Egypt's Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade, published in the Egyptian Official Gazette (Issue 4 bis) on 5 January 2026, carves a narrow, fee-bearing exception into Egypt's standing export ban on raw white silica sand (originally imposed by Prime Ministerial Decree No. 108 of 2022). Shipments of raw white sand destined for production projects established inside Egypt's free zones are now permitted, but only within quantities approved by the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) and subject to a new export duty of US$15 per metric ton (or the EGP equivalent). Outside this free-zone exception, the general export ban on the material remains in force.

Indonesia's Ministry of Finance imposed a definitive import safeguard duty (Bea Masuk Tindakan Pengamanan / BMTP) on imported cotton woven fabric, covering 16 eight-digit HS codes (5208/5209/5210/5211/5212 cotton-fabric lines), effective 10 January 2026 for three years. The duty follows a KPPI safeguard investigation that found an import surge causing serious injury to Indonesia's domestic weaving industry. The duty is a specific (absolute-rupiah) levy that declines over the three-year term, and 122 countries are exempted subject to certificate-of-origin verification.

The US Department of Commerce preliminarily determined that chromium trioxide (chromic acid anhydride, used in chrome plating and surface-finishing) from India and Türkiye is being sold in the United States at less than fair value, following a September 2025 petition by American Chrome & Chemicals. Commerce set a preliminary weighted-average dumping margin and cash-deposit rate of 14.44% for India's Vishnu Chemicals (12.00% cash-deposit rate) and 40.88% for Türkiye's Şişe ve Cam Fabrikaları, triggering suspension of liquidation and cash-deposit collection on covered entries from both countries effective 2026-05-22. The investigation period was July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025; final determinations are scheduled for 2026-08-10 (Türkiye) and 2026-10-07 (India, aligned with the companion countervailing-duty case).

Beijing's Development and Reform Commission, jointly with the municipal Economic and Information Technology Bureau, Science and Technology Commission, and the Zhongguancun Science Park Administration Committee, issued Notice 京发改规〔2026〕1号 on 4 January 2026 setting out measures to expand the city's pilot-testing (中试, "chung-shi"/pilot production and scale-up) service capacity. The policy funds construction and upgrading of pilot-testing platforms that bridge lab-stage R&D and commercial production across AI, biomedicine, green energy, robotics and semiconductors, with a goal of 10 national-level and 50 municipal-level platforms by 2030. Global Trade Alert logged the same underlying state act as five separate interventions (152197-152201) split by affected-country and sector groupings; this filing consolidates them into a single action since they share one primary source document.

Australia's Treasury applied its annual 1 January indexation to the monetary screening thresholds under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975, effective 1 January 2026. Most thresholds move with CPI (the 2026 update reflects roughly a 2.3% rise in the June-quarter CPI), producing country-specific changes where thresholds are set relative to free-trade agreement status or country-specific baselines — Global Trade Alert logged threshold decreases for Chile, New Zealand and the United States and increases for India, Hong Kong and Peru in this cycle. Fixed ($0) national- security, residential-land, media and foreign-government-investor thresholds and the non-indexed agricultural-land thresholds ($15m cumulative general; $50m for Thailand) are unchanged.

NHAI's Jharkhand Division tendered a Performance-Based Maintenance Contract (PBMC) covering operation and maintenance of the 4-laned Kutchery Chowk (Ranchi)–Piska More–Bijupara section of NH-75 (km 3.560–55.000) and the Piska More–Palma section of NH-23 (km 3.600–26.000), a combined ~72.67 km, estimated cost ~INR 160.70 crore (NIT), with Global Trade Alert recording a related contract value of INR 197.36 crore.

Egypt's Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade, via GOEIC Export Circular No. 2 of 2026, renewed for a further year (2 January 2026 - 1 January 2027) the restriction limiting exports of lead-acid battery parts and separators (HS 85079010) to companies whose industrial register confirms them as actual producers of lead battery parts, with non-producing exporters and intermediary trading/export offices barred from handling the tariff line. The measure also continues an export duty of EGP 3,000/tonne on the category. It is the latest annual renewal of a policy first introduced as an outright export ban in September 2023 and converted to a fee-plus- producer-only restriction in 2024.

NHAI published a Request for Proposal for the rehabilitation and strengthening of a further section of NH-44 (Panipat–Khanna, Package 1), spanning Haryana and Punjab, valued by Global Trade Alert at INR 275.49 crore.

Brazil's Câmara de Comércio Exterior (Gecex) approved Resolução nº 844, de 30 de dezembro de 2025, amending Annexes IV and V of the base tariff-nomenclature resolution (Gecex nº 272/2021) to modify import tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) and duties on 15 products, effective 1 January 2026. The resolution establishes new duty-free (0%) TRQs for 11 product categories — including nutritional supplements (30 metric tons/year), animal-feed additives, contact lenses (a combined 40.375 million units/year across two NCM headings), electrical cable connectors, and glass ampoules — while removing existing duty-free quota treatment for four products (a thermal-control polyethylene film, a rubber sanitary/contraceptive item under NCM 4014.10.00, an anhydrous sodium-compound chemical under NCM 2836.20.10, and one further excluded product), whose duty reverts from 0% to the standard Mercosur Common External Tariff (TEC) rate. The measure is a routine periodic tariff-schedule maintenance action rather than a trade-remedy or policy-driven restriction.

On 31 December 2025 Mexico's Secretaría de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural (SADER) published the Acuerdo setting the Reglas de Operación (operating rules) of the "Fertilizantes para el Bienestar" programme for fiscal year 2026 in the Diario Oficial de la Federación.

Global Trade Alert classifies the programme as carrying both a production-subsidy and a local-content-requirement component, effective 1 January through 31 December 2026.

Türkiye imposed a provisional WTO safeguard measure on imports of PET resin (polyethylene terephthalate, viscosity ≥78 ml/g, GTİP 3907.61.00.00.00) via Presidential Decision No. 10806, published in the Official Gazette on 31 December 2025 (Sayı 33124, 5. Mükerrer) alongside the implementing "İthalatta Korunma Önlemlerine İlişkin Tebliğ" (Tebliğ No. 2026/1). The measure levies an additional financial obligation of USD 100 per tonne, applied erga omnes for up to 200 days while the Ministry's full safeguard investigation continues. A tariff-quota carve-out exempts eligible developing-country origins meeting the WTO Safeguards Agreement Article 9 de-minimis threshold (individually ≤3% of 2024 imports, collectively ≤9%): roughly 3,693 tonnes per country and 11,079 tonnes in aggregate are admitted duty-free before the $100/tonne obligation applies to the remainder. Leading 2024 PET resin suppliers to Türkiye include China, South Korea and Italy.

Cumhurbaşkanı Kararı No. 10790 (Resmi Gazete 31 December 2025, issue 33124 3rd reprint), in force 1 January 2026, restructures Türkiye's annual import-tariff architecture across 4,344 product lines from non-EU origins. The decree (i) introduces or expands additional customs duty (Ek Mali Yükümlülük / İlave Gümrük Vergisi) of 5%–48% on non-EU imports of iron and non-alloy steel, copper, aluminium, and base-metal household goods; (ii) introduces forward-looking import-surveillance measures across 172 products under 36 notifications, with reference-price floors that cap effective duty relief on under-valued shipments; (iii) updates duties on 324 Customs Tariff Statistical Positions across 21 chapters (219 HS lines raised by 2.4–15 percentage points; 8 lines under HS 7225/7228/8528/8529 raised by 3–14 points; 2 lines reduced by 6 points); (iv) opens duty-free tariff quotas for 35 industrial-product categories — including 27 battery / lithium-cell HS codes through 1 February 2027, 8m m² of plastic-treated textiles through 31 December 2026, and 40,725 tons of organic chemicals and aluminium sheets (16 February–31 December 2026); and (v) imposes a permit regime (6-month validity) on used and refurbished goods. EU and EU-Customs-Union origins remain exempt under A.TR preferential rules; the structural asymmetry vs non-EU partners is the core mechanism. Stated rationale (Ministry of Trade): support domestic production, prevent unfair competition, increase employment, reduce the current-account deficit.

Türkiye's Ministry of Trade published Tebliğ No. 2026/1 ("İthalatta Gözetim Uygulanmasına İlişkin Tebliğ") in the Official Gazette on 31 December 2025 (Sayı 33124, 4. Mükerrer), entering into force 30 January 2026. It imposes a reference-price-triggered import surveillance regime on photosensitive magnesium printing plates (GTİP 3701.30.00.00.21, USD 40/kg floor) and on kraft paper and kraft paperboard across several GTİP lines (4804.11.xx and 4804.21.xx, USD 0.7/kg and USD 1/kg floors respectively). Imports declared below these unit customs values require a surveillance certificate ("gözetim belgesi") from the Ministry's Import Directorate General before customs clearance, valid six months.

Türkiye's Ministry of Trade published Tebliğ No. 2026/10 ("İthalatta Gözetim Uygulanmasına İlişkin Tebliğ") in the Official Gazette on 31 December 2025 (Sayı 33124, 4th mükerrer), entering into force 30 days later on 30 January 2026.

Türkiye's Ministry of Trade published Tebliğ No. 2026/17 ("İthalatta Gözetim Uygulanmasına İlişkin Tebliğ") in the Official Gazette on 31 December 2025 (Sayı 33124, 4th mükerrer), entering into force 30 days later on 30 January 2026.
