Altana for importers

Every day, 100,000+ shipments are held at the U.S. border

Regulations are more complex than ever before. One detention stalls production, ties up working capital, and forces tariff 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 multi-tier value chains for risk, get your products ready to cross the border, and pre-validate with customs before goods ever ship, even as rules change.

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.

How Altana works

Build your product catalog
Pipe in fractured data from traditionally fractured legacy ERPs, spreadsheets, and emails. AI maps your products beyond Tier 1, into value chains. Then, through Product Passports, suppliers verify connections directly — so you work from one picture everyone trusts, not a patchwork of spreadsheets and surveys.
Get your goods trade-ready
Eliminate manual classification, COO, FTA determination, and complex duty calculation, and avoid cost surprises by proactively modeling tariff impacts and simulating scenarios.
Clear borders consistently
As AI works across your catalog to classify products, determine country of origin, calculate duties, and flag exposures as they emerge, you useProduct Passports to remediate issues with suppliers and pre-validate shipments with customs before they ship. Global Entry, but for goods.
