Altana’s Product Passports extend visibility into operational compliance, allowing importers, suppliers, logistics providers and customs to share a verifiable, auditable record of a product’s journey. This creates a single source of truth for sanctions screening, forced labour due diligence and carbon-related measures. Passports align facilitation with compliance by linking product and facility data to trade declarations, allowing logistics providers to include the passport ID in trade documentation. US Customs and Border Protection has selected Altana to build a modern trade infrastructure that enhances enforcement and accelerates border clearance for trusted importers. As an example, an enterprise discovers a third-tier facility in a sensitive location. Working with its network, it verifies the risk, raises buffers, purchases insurance and, through a Product Passport, coordinates with customs to facilitate compliant importation.National governance: UK Global Supply Chain Intelligence Programme (GSCIP) The UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) leads the UK Government’s Global Supply Chain Intelligence Programme (GSCIP). DBT, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the Department of Health and Social Care, the NHS Supply Chain, the Home Office, Ministry of Defence and other UK government organizations use tools, workflows, AI and insights from the Altana-powered GSCIP to develop public policies on a national scale. By joining sovereign UK import and export declarations to the secure deployment of the Altana platform, departments are able to map key industrial supplier dependencies across sectors and simulate disruptions. GSCIP informs trade policy, industrial strategy and economic security planning, while providing the private sector with a clearer understanding of systemic risk. Changes to the supply chain inform these policies and help mitigate potential threats to UK national interests as they develop in real time. The UK’s Global Supply Chain Intelligence Programme links strategy with operations, helping government agencies anticipate and mitigate systemic risks.
