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.

Australia's Anti-Dumping Commission initiated a dumping and countervailing investigation on 23 October 2025 into freight railway wheels (forged and rolled high-carbon steel, 27.5"-37.5" outside diameter, Australian HS 8607.19.00.20) imported from China, following an application from Commonwealth Steel Company Pty Ltd. On 22 December 2025 the Commission issued Anti-Dumping Notice No. 2025/128, a preliminary affirmative dumping determination, imposing a provisional antidumping duty of 36.9% (applied uniformly to cooperating and non-cooperating exporters) via securities collected on imports from that date. The parallel countervailing-subsidy investigation continues; the Commission found insufficient evidence at this stage to support a preliminary affirmative countervailing determination.
The US Department of Commerce initiated a countervailing-duty (CVD) investigation of certain freight rail couplers and parts thereof from India (case C-533-941) on 18 August 2025, covering the period of investigation 1 April 2024 - 31 March 2025. On 27 February 2026 Commerce issued a preliminary affirmative determination, published in the Federal Register 3 March 2026, finding countervailable subsidy rates of 6.02% for Kharagpur Metal Reforming Industries, 5.47% for Texmaco Rail & Engineering, and 5.90% for all other Indian producers/exporters; Jupiter Wagons and Bhilai Engineering Corporation were assigned a 64.27% adverse-facts-available rate after failing to respond to Commerce's quantity-and-value questionnaire. Commerce aligned the CVD final determination with the companion antidumping final determination. 2024 US imports of the subject product totaled roughly $5.6 million (2.07 million kg).
The US Department of Commerce initiated less-than-fair-value investigations of certain freight rail couplers and parts thereof from the Czech Republic (case A-851-806) and India (case A-533-940) on 12 August 2025, covering the period of investigation 1 July 2024 - 30 June 2025. On 6 May 2026 Commerce issued preliminary affirmative determinations, finding dumping margins of 60.05% for the Czech Republic and 5.32% for India, and imposed provisional antidumping cash-deposit requirements at those rates effective the same date; the final determination was postponed. A parallel preliminary affirmative countervailing-duty determination for India was published 3 March 2026 (case C-533-941). Commerce postponed the original preliminary deadline (initially due 9 March 2026) via a 23 February 2026 notice citing a lapse-in-appropriations tolling of deadlines and an EDIS filing backlog.
