How this is collected
Anchored to government primary sources (Federal Register, BIS, MOFCOM, METI, EU and national gazettes). Only published actions qualify — proposals and press speculation are excluded.
Every row carries a source URL, a verbatim quote from that source, and a confidence tier. Readings that cannot be verified against a dated public source are dropped rather than estimated — a visible gap beats a wrong value. See data quality.
