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.
Türkiye's Ministry of Trade published İthalatta Gözetim Uygulanmasına İlişkin Tebliğ (No: 2025/4) in Resmî Gazete on 31 July 2025, adding ice-making machines (GTİP 8418.69.00.99.12) to the country's import surveillance mechanism. Imports whose unit customs (CIF) value is below USD 16 per kilogram gross weight require a six-month "gözetim belgesi" (supervision certificate) from the Imports General Directorate before customs clearance; the measure entered into force on 30 August 2025, thirty days after publication. Global Trade Alert logs the intervention as "certainly harmful" and names Belgium, Canada and China among the principal exporters affected. The mechanism does not block imports outright but adds a licensing/documentation step that functions as a de facto minimum-price floor on cheap ice-maker imports, protecting domestic appliance assemblers from underpriced units clearing customs undetected.
BIS published a Federal Register notice (FR Doc 2025-11067, 90 FR 25208) revising Annex I under Section 232 to add further steel derivative products to the tariff list: combined refrigerator-freezers (HTSUS 8418.10.00), clothes dryers (8451.21.00, 8451.29.00), washing machines (8450.11.00, 8450.20.00), dishwashers (8422.11.00), chest and upright freezers (8418.30.00, 8418.40.00), cooking stoves/ranges/ovens (8516.60.40), food waste disposals (8509.80.20), and welded wire. The steel content of these products becomes subject to the Section 232 duty (raised to 50% ad valorem under Presidential Proclamation 10947 of 2025-06-03, except for UK-origin products) effective 12:01 a.m. ET on 2025-06-23; non-steel content continues to face whatever reciprocal or other tariffs otherwise apply.
