Altana for importers
Every day, 100,000+ shipments are held at the U.S. border
One detention stalls production, ties up working capital, and forces logistical and sourcing decisions you never planned for. Altana gives you one verified system of record for every product and its value chain — so you can model tariff exposure, screen suppliers across every tier, and pre-validate with customs before goods ever ship.
The cost of a held shipment
When a shipment stops at the border, the cost moves through everything behind it.
U.S. Customs processes more than 2 million packages a day and reviews each entry in a 24-hour window before goods arrive at port. When something doesn’t line up — a misclassified HS code, an unverified supplier, a forced-labor flag five tiers deep — the shipment stops. The fix isn’t faster paperwork. It’s proving your products are compliant before they ship.

Connect your network
See your value chain the way it’s actually built. AI maps your products beyond Tier 1, and Product Passport technology lets suppliers verify connections directly — so you work from one picture everyone trusts, not a patchwork of spreadsheets and surveys.
Design resilient value chains
Model the revenue, spend, and margin impact of tariffs, supply shocks, and compliance exposures before they hit. Find the single points of failure and adversarial dependencies hidden upstream, and source with resilience built in from the start.
Clear borders consistently
AI works across your catalog to classify products, determine country of origin, calculate stacked duties, and flag exposures as they emerge. Submit Product Passports to customs ahead of time, and trusted goods clear faster — your version of Global Entry for goods.

The Product Catalog
Altana organizes your product data into a collaborative catalog where you and your suppliers work together to illuminate multi-tier sourcing paths and keep every team on the same page.
An intelligent system of record for products & multi-tier value chains
The same network customs uses to enforce trade is the one you use to clear it.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection selected Altana as the only product-level proof of compliance and Global Entry for goods. When you pre-validate on Altana, you’re working from the same system of record as the agency reviewing your entries.
