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.
Brazil's Câmara de Comércio Exterior (Gecex) approved Resolução nº 829/2025 at its 232nd ordinary meeting on 18 December 2025, imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty of USD 47.46 per kilogram on imports of single-mode optical fibres (core diameter < 11 micrometres; NCM 9001.10.11) originating in China for a period of up to five years effective from DOU publication on 22 December 2025. The measure concludes a SECEX/DECOM investigation opened in August 2024 on petition by Prysmian Cabos e Sistemas do Brasil S/A and Furukawa Electric Latam / Lightera (collectively the entire domestic production base), which found material injury caused by dumped Chinese imports that supplied over 70% of the Brazilian market during the period of investigation. Industry associations Telcomp, Abramulti, Feninfra, and Abrint publicly criticised the measure, estimating a 170% increase in imported-fibre costs with downstream implications for Brazilian broadband roll-out economics.
Brazil's Câmara de Comércio Exterior (Gecex) approved Resolução nº 837/2025 at its 232nd ordinary meeting on 18 December 2025, imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty of USD 2.42 per kilogram on imports of optical-fibre cables with or without connectorisation (NCM 8544.70.10) originating in China for a period of up to five years effective from DOU publication on 22 December 2025. Uniquely, the duty was set below the DECOM-recommended rate on explicit public-interest grounds under Decreto 8.058/2013, with MDIC citing downstream telecom-infrastructure cost-pass-through risk as justification for the moderation — making this a rare procedural outcome distinct from straight DECOM-rate adoption. Industry associations Abrint, Feninfra, Telcomp, and Abramulti publicly criticised the measure nonetheless, estimating a 50% increase in imported cable costs with material implications for Brazilian broadband rollout economics; Abrint formally requested reconsideration in January 2026.
