Global supply chains are notoriously opaque. This lack of visibility means that many companies may see their products, including Common High Priority List (CHPL) items, delivered to military customers or end users without their knowledge or consent.

The Trade Integrity Project is an attempt to make global supply chains more transparent, leveraging public data to assist companies seeking to better understand the flow of goods to the Russian Federation.

TIP is built on publicly available global trade data from the year 2023. Data was filtered to show only transactions where the HS classification matched goods listed under CHPL Tier 1, 4A, and 4B. These tiers comprise "items of the highest concern due to their critical role in the production of advanced Russian precision-guided weapons systems, Russia's lack of domestic production, and limited global manufacturers," and include items such as microelectronics and computer numerical control (CNC) machines.

Public data sources used to inform TIP may contain errors, inconsistencies, and blank fields. TIP works to correct all such errors - if you believe you have discovered an error on the site, please get in touch at the link above.

TIP aims to promote transparency in international trade, and is free for any approved use. We encourage researchers interested in exploring the data further to be in touch via contact@tradeintegrityproject.org
