2026 Gartner® report
Rising enforcement, tariff volatility, and forced labor rules have pushed trade compliance out of the back office. New research from Gartner® lays out five actions to transform the function into a source of profitable growth. Access your complimentary copy.
According to Gartner, trade compliance failures increasingly expose organizations to financial penalties, supply chain disruption, and loss of market access. The old operating model was not built for this. Gartner research shows what companies are building instead.
Gartner, Accelerate Profitable Growth by Transforming Your Global Trade Compliance Function, Brian Whitlock, 9 June 2026.
From recommendation to reality
The fourth recommended action by Gartner is to accelerate investment in technology and data capabilities by automating high-volume transactional tasks. In our view, Altana was built for today’s trade environment.
Altana’s AI trade-readiness workflows gets your products ready to cross the border and keep them ready as the rules change — so you prep entries faster, avoid detentions, never overpay or underpay duties, and qualify for every trade preference.
A suite of solutions
Once products are in the catalog, Altana’s trade-manager agent organizes everything you need for a product to cross the border — and keeps your products trade-ready as the rules change. The manual scramble across spreadsheets, brokers, and consultants becomes one fast, defensible workflow.
Classifies to full national tariff depth, backed by rulings and clear reasoning.
Applies rules of origin against your real value chain, with audit-ready rationale.
Evaluates qualification paths, tariff shifts and RVC, re-checking when inputs change to claim USMCA and other FTA qualification.
Computes per-product net effective rate stacking every program, recalculating when schedules change.
Records 232 exposure at material-composition level: steel, aluminum, and copper content with per-material rates and country of smelt/cast.
Identify UFLPA exposure at the raw material level level. Collect supplier validations, respond to detentions, and identify compliant suppliers.
Flags PGA obligations before filing, with the responsible agency on the record.
Screens your multi-tier value chain for risk; automated supplier outreach keeps records current.
Network problems demand network solutions. Altana helps teams share documents with brokers and CBP so your products are always trade-ready.
Share documented records with brokers, then audit their filings against your catalog.
Pre-validate compliance with CBP before goods ship, ensuring smooth cross-border entry.
Build your Altana product catalog and automatically keep track of duty payments, new trade regulations, and refunds in real time.
Compares what you filed against what you owed, surfacing overpayments and underpayments.
Checks classifications against current rules, flagging misclassifications and over/underpayments as rules change.
Altana organizes your product data into one collaborative catalog — where you and your suppliers illuminate the multi-tier sourcing paths behind every product.
Legacy Global Trade Management software is breaking under geopolitics and constant regulatory change. Altana is the AI-native platform built for what global trade has become.
Classification, COO, FTA, duty, and more live on one product record and feed each other — not a point tool bolted onto spreadsheets and ERPs. Knowledge survives turnover; every decision carries an audit trail.
Verified visibility into the value chain behind each product — the data layer that makes origin, forced-labor, and 232 work defensible instead of guesswork. No single-tier tool can reach it.
AI runs across the whole trade-readiness workflow and reasons over verified value-chain data, showing its work on every determination. You stay in control: it suggests, you decide.
Share a product’s trusted attribute set as a Product Passport, to brokers and to regulators, so entries are pre-validated before they reach the border. Like Global Entry, but for goods.
Altana AI
Altana’s AI operates on Altana’s Supply Chain Graph — the world’s largest, most detailed view of how goods move across the globe, built from public trade data, commercial sources, and proprietary shipment data from the world’s leading logistics providers. That foundation enables AI-driven network collaboration on your products and shipments that you can actually trust — and which no generic, publicly trained AI can replicate.
Keep every product trade-ready.
