US tariff & sanctions intelligence
Know every tariff change the day it lands.
A daily, severity-ranked briefing of every action from USTR, Commerce, BIS, OFAC, ITC and CBP — with effective dates, plain-English summaries, and a link to the primary source on every line. Built for importers and customs brokers who find out from the Federal Register, not from their clients.
From an actual briefing — July 2026
This is what your inbox looks like at 8 a.m.
Real items, real week. Every line triaged by compliance impact and traceable to the Federal Register notice it came from.
25% tariffs on all imports from Brazil — Section 301 action
USTR is imposing 25% tariffs on all imports from Brazil, with limited exemptions. Every importer sourcing from Brazil is affected.
OFAC reshuffles 48 Hong Kong–linked entities across sanctions lists
Entities moved from the SDN List to the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions List under HKAA authority. Screening lists must be updated — changes are effective immediately, strict liability.
Fresh mushrooms from Canada: provisional duties start now
Commerce's preliminary dumping finding triggers suspension of liquidation and cash deposits at preliminary rates — importers start paying immediately, months before the final determination.
New AD/CVD investigations: welded stainless pipe from India, Turkey, UAE
Preliminary-phase injury investigations instituted. Duties are likely 6–12 months out if the cases proceed — time to review sourcing exposure.
Why it works
Primary sources. Triage. Nothing else.
Straight from the source
Federal Register, OFAC delta files, HTSUS records — pulled the day they publish. No news-site paraphrase, no day-late aggregator. Every line links to the government document with its effective date.
Severity you can act on
HIGH means duties or designations in force now — new 301/232 actions, AD/CVD orders, SDN additions. Investigations and rate reviews rank MEDIUM. Lab accreditations and hearing notices? You'll never read them again.
Your watchlist stays yours
The coming mobile app matches alerts against your HS codes and suppliers on your device. We run the feed — we never hold your product catalog, your lanes, or your suppliers. There is nothing to breach.
Positioning
The intelligence layer, not the system of record.
Your classification workbench and your broker stay exactly where they are. We make sure they hear about changes first.
- ✕We don't classify. No HTS code suggestions beyond chapter level — that's your licensed broker's call, as CBP requires.
- ✕We don't file. No entries, no declarations, no customs business.
- ✕We don't hold your trade data. No product catalogs, no entry data uploads, ever.
- ✓We watch the record. Every duty, every designation, every effective date — triaged and delivered before it costs you.
