# Trade Policy Monitor - Export Controls & Rule Dates — workflow

## Choose this tool

Trade operations teams tracking official export-control and trade-rule publications. Agency-focused rule records with effective-date and comment-deadline evidence.

Useful output columns: `documentNumber`, `publicationDate`, `documentType`, `effectiveOn`, `commentsCloseOn`, `agencies`.

## Practical workflow

Save the agencies relevant to your products. Run daily or weekly, compare document IDs and effective-date fields, and send changed records to a regulatory review queue. Review the official document before changing trade operations.

## Check the fit

One newest Federal Register page per selected agency. Dates are source fields, not legal conclusions. Notices and proposed rules are not final restrictions. No tariff calculation, sanctions screening or complete regulatory coverage.

## Real output sample

One selected row from a 2026-10-18 run. One saved row with selected scalar fields. Nested structures remain available in full Actor output.

Run: eUOFbreDpWUCrcR1I. Summary status: ok. Incomplete: false.

Historical bounded output from the recorded run. Current source values may differ.
