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 Foreign Trade Chamber Executive Committee (GECEX/CAMEX, under the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services) approved Resolução Gecex nº 824, dated 4 December 2025, rebalancing the country's ex-tarifário IT- and telecommunications-goods (BIT) duty-relief regime. The resolution excludes a batch of expired or superseded ex-tarifário codes from Annex I of the base Resolução Gecex nº 323/2022 — reverting those products to Brazil's standard import tariff — and adds a new batch of exemptions to the Anexo Único of Resolução Gecex nº 781/2025, extending duty relief on a different set of IT/telecom products (printing equipment, data-processing machines, telecom apparatus, network/fibre-optic components, mobile-phone components) through late 2027. Global Trade Alert's analysis counts 301 IT/telecommunications products as affected by the net exclusion/inclusion changes. Published in the Diário Oficial da União on 5 December 2025, the resolution entered into force seven days after publication (12 December 2025).
Brazil's Foreign Trade Chamber executive committee (GECEX) issued Resolution No. 732, dated 20 May 2025 and published in the Diário Oficial da União on 21 May 2025, amending Annexes II and VI of Resolução Gecex nº 272/2021 — the instrument that adapted Brazil's Common Mercosur Nomenclature (NCM) and Common External Tariff (TEC) to the 2022 Harmonized System revision. The amendment recomposes the TEC toward its full bound level for products on the IT/telecom (LEBIT) and capital-goods (BK) special-tariff exception lists, while carving out roughly 925 NCM codes across some 585 six-digit HS subheadings from the recomposition; secondary reporting describes the net effect as duty cuts on select data-processing and telephone equipment paired with duty increases across the broader excepted product set. Global Trade Alert classifies the measure as a "Red" (trade-restrictive) import-tariff intervention.
