Example industry: Manufacture of basic iron and steel ISIC 2410
Source: Risk Rule GEO_CMP_007 — Trade Compliance & Customs

Under 2026 'Automated Registration' rules, importers face unexpected multi-million dollar tax bills for goods already cleared during the 6-month investigation phase (GEO_CMP_002).
How This Risk Can Manifest
In Manufacture of basic iron and steel (ISIC 2410):
In Jan 2026, a surge of Japanese and Chinese semiconductor chemicals (Dichlorosilane) triggers an 'Economic Security' probe in the EU. Using 'Particular Market Situation' logic, the Commission imposes a 120% provisional duty. An electronics manufacturer, relying on these low-cost inputs, sees its unit margins flip to negative, forcing a total supply chain overhaul.
