How this dataset is built
One event per measure, keyed by country, commodity, measure and the day it takes effect. When a measure is extended, eased or lifted, the same event is updated and its earlier state is kept as a revision, so the history shows what was known at each date.
- The legal text or the agency's own notice first, then the trade press that cites it.
- Every value carries the page it came from and the sentence that states it, checked word for word by the server.
- Nothing is estimated or carried forward: a date or a number no page states is left out.
Take the whole dataset
The full history as CSV or JSON, every event with its fields, sources, quotes and revisions, kept current as new measures and tender results land. Delivered by export or API.
