Source goods abroad and negotiate national trade policy

Corporations can now buy locally unavailable goods from foreign exchanges, while national governments can publish tariffs, impose export embargoes, and negotiate bilateral trade agreements.
International trade now has a visible route from policy to delivery.
- Foreign sourcing is a corporation workspace. Pick an external exchange, a locally unavailable resource, a destination inventory, and a quantity. The quote walks the live sell book and shows materials, import tariff, freight, capacity, funds, and delivery time before checkout.
- Checkout is atomic. The order must fill completely and every resulting lot must receive freight. If liquidity, storage, funding, or the route changes, the purchase rolls back instead of stranding paid goods on a foreign exchange.
- Governments publish import and export tariffs. A schedule may cover all goods, one goods category, or one article. Article rules take precedence over category and all-goods rules.
- Export embargoes cannot be routed around. They apply to exchange matches, direct sales, supply-deal agreements, and stocked business acquisitions. Active recurring deals are checked again before every delivery, so a later embargo pauses the shipment too.
- Ruling parties can negotiate bilateral agreements. Proposals can override either country's import or export tariff and waive export tariffs and restrictions for the covered goods. Only another country with an active player-controlled ruling party can receive a proposal.
- Policy is public. The former Tax Rates page is now Tax Rates & Tariffs, including general schedules, export restrictions, and active bilateral terms.
