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.
On 22 December 2025 the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau released Public Notice DA-25-1086, adding to the Covered List (under section 1709 of the FY2025 NDAA) all unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and UAS critical components produced in a foreign country, plus communications and video-surveillance equipment/services produced by DJI Technologies and Autel Robotics (and their subsidiaries, affiliates, and licensing/JV partners). The designation is comprehensive by scope — every foreign-made drone from consumer quadcopters to large uncrewed systems, with no size/performance carve-out — and blocks the FCC from granting any new equipment authorization to covered UAS/components going forward. Previously authorized models already in the US market are not revoked. A follow-on Public Notice (DA-26-22, 7 January 2026) narrowed the scope with a temporary exemption (see amendments).
On 4 June 2025 the Verkhovna Rada adopted Law No. 4473-IX, amending the Customs Code of Ukraine to exempt from import (customs) duty goods brought into Ukraine's customs territory for security and defence needs. The law entered into force on 15 June 2025. Coverage includes optical fibre and fibre-optic cable imported by enterprises for the manufacture or repair of unmanned aerial systems (drones) and other defence equipment, as well as materials supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other authorised defence entities, removing a cost input for Ukraine's wartime domestic drone-manufacturing base. A companion law, No. 4474-IX, grants a parallel VAT exemption for the same import category.
On 4 June 2025 the Verkhovna Rada adopted Law No. 4474-IX, amending subsection 2 of section XX ("Transitional Provisions") of the Tax Code of Ukraine to exempt from value-added tax the import into Ukraine's customs territory of goods for security and defence needs, including optical fibre and fibre-optic cable used in the manufacture and repair of unmanned aerial systems (drones). The law entered into force on 15 June 2025. It is the VAT-side companion to Law No. 4473-IX (filed separately), which grants the equivalent customs-duty exemption for the same import category — the Rada split duty relief and VAT relief into two parallel statutory amendments passed the same day.
