Live production database — May 27, 2026.
Hey — Naomie here. A month ago, our last newsletter said Cleo tracked 25,000 regulations. I didn’t expect to write you back so soon with a different number. But the team kept shipping.
Every number above is one SQL query away on our production database. No marketing rounding. If you sell anything physical across borders, half of them affect you.
Unique regulations: doubled in 30 days
Most of the growth came from indexing product safety rules across APAC, the Americas, and the Middle East.

We finally added China
It’s the question I’ve been asked the most. China is in. So are Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, Australia — 11 new countries this month, 163 in total.
+ EU-27 · UK · GCC · ASEAN · Mercosur
+8,500 agencies indexed
Behind every regulation, an agency that enforces it. We mapped them one by one — and crossed 27,500 this month.
