About China Prospect

Who publishes it

China Prospect is published by Vexidus Corporation, a holding company in aerospace and defense manufacturing, supply-chain software and security. Its companies buy components and move freight, so these are questions we have to answer for ourselves.

What it covers, and what it leaves out

• It covers published rules: tariffs, export licensing, tax-credit conditions and import bans, in the United States, the European Union and China.
• It does not profile companies, rate suppliers or name individuals. Where a rule names a company, the page points to the official list instead of repeating it.
• It does not forecast what a government will decide. Where a date depends on a decision that has not been announced, the page says so.

How the pages are written

• Every rate, threshold and date is taken from the document that sets it: a statute, a regulation, an agency notice or an official announcement. The source is linked beside the statement.
• Chinese measures are described only from an official English text or a named English translation, and the page says which.
• Where sources disagree, or where only a secondary source could be found, the page says that instead of choosing one silently.
• Each page carries the date its content was last checked. Trade rules change at short notice, so read the source before acting on a date.
• Nothing here is legal, customs or tax advice. Classification, origin and credit eligibility turn on the facts of a product and a transaction; confirm them with a customs broker or counsel.
