Where written rules become real exposure
Restrictions, NTBs, and Enforcement Risks
Formal rules are only part of the picture. Businesses also need visibility into restrictions, practical non-tariff barriers, enforcement inconsistency, and the real-world mistakes that create detention, delay, or rejection.
