Data format

Before vs After

Before

  • Manual tracking of threshold changes across jurisdictions
  • Inconsistent data sources with varying update frequencies
  • No alerting for regulatory changes affecting compliance
  • Hours spent researching each jurisdiction individually

After

  • Centralized database of de minimis thresholds globally
  • Automated monitoring with change detection and alerts
  • Clean, exportable datasets for compliance teams
  • Historical tracking for audit and trend analysis

Key Decisions

1

Built modular scrapers per source — easier to maintain than one monolithic system

2

Prioritized high-volume trade corridors first (US, EU, UK, Canada)

3

Designed schema for extensibility — easy to add new threshold types

What I'd do next (given more time)

  • Add predictive alerts for anticipated regulatory changes
  • Build API endpoints for direct integration with ERP systems
  • Expand coverage to include customs duty thresholds
