PolicyNote’s Tariff Tracker is Your New Essential Tool for Monitoring Tariff Policy

Tariff policy is quickly becoming one of the fastest-moving and highest-impact areas on government affairs. 

As executive orders, retaliatory actions, and negotiations continue to become frequent activities for implementing and revising tariffs, organizations are left scrambling to keep up. It’s also no longer just about knowing about the latest tariff. Government affairs teams are being tasked with understanding how it’s applied, the implications of each measure, when it goes into effect, and what it means for their organization.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce the tariff tracker, now available in PolicyNote.

What It Is

The tariff tracker is a new PolicyNote feature designed to help you monitor the latest tariff policies in real time, understand their details and implications, and analyze and share that information with ease. 

It collects and organizes all relevant policy documents related to tariffs and presents them in a user-friendly, searchable dashboard. No more jumping between government websites, press releases, and PDF documents. Everything you need is in one place.

The tariff tracker integrates with PolicyNote’s AI Assistant, so you can ask questions about the meaning of tariff measures and how they could impact your industry and generate talking points or messaging for your organization.

Why It Matters

“We built the tariff tracker because our users told us they needed a better way to stay on top of trade policy,” says Paul Ellender, senior product manager at PolicyNote. “It’s a direct response to a real, urgent problem — and we’re proud to help solve it.”

We have heard from many users that tracking tariff-related policies has become a significant challenge. From steel and aluminum to semiconductors, solar panels, electric vehicles, and agricultural products, no sector remains untouched. 

Industries with global supply chains — like manufacturing, automotive, technology, and consumer goods — are especially vulnerable to even minor shifts in tariff policy. A single announcement can trigger supply chain disruptions, contract renegotiations, and higher operational costs.

And it's not slowing down. With new tariffs announced on April 2 and more anticipated, the pressure is increasing on policy professionals to remain informed and prepared to respond. Adding the tariff tracker to PolicyNote further consolidates policy data into a single solution and helps users deliver more high-stakes intelligence and drive strategic decisions.    

“We’re taking the automation, AI, and real-time policy monitoring features of PolicyNote and applying them to the real-world application of staying ahead of tariff policy,” says Ellender. “We want to make it as efficient as possible to anticipate impacts, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and make proactive decisions in response to evolving trade policies.”

The bottom line is that tariffs are not slowing down, and your ability to stay ahead of them shouldn't either. The tariff tracker solves that problem.
