August US Trade Data Updates!

Trade compliance never stands still. August brought a wave of updates across sanctions, tariffs, and screening lists that impact global supply chains. Highlights include:
- OFAC actions: Expanded Iran oil sanctions, plus cartel and criminal network designations.
- New listings: 2,244 entities added across U.S., EU, UK, Canada, and global lists.
- Tariff changes: Adjustments across multiple groups, including IEEPA Reciprocal (-34 codes; +78 codes), Indian measures tied to Russian oil imports (+6 codes), and transshipped goods.
- HTS & commodity shifts: 5,518 codes affected by tariff changes, AD/CVD updates, and PGA codes.
- Investigations: 2 new AD/CVD cases (unwrought palladium from Russia; freight rail couplers from Czech Republic and India).
- Revisions: 4 new HTS releases issued in August.
- Commodity lists: 400+ commodity codes added to 232 tariff lists.
- FDA activity: 2,901 new import alerts for entities and commodities.

These updates underline how quickly the compliance landscape shifts — with direct consequences for manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers operating across borders. Staying ahead requires not just monitoring the changes, but connecting them back to operations, sourcing, and customer commitments.
