Screening Models

The Entry Processing System enriches and screens entries with a set of Altana models. Each model screens shipment records — including Product Passports and other supply-chain transactions — for a category of risk, then triages records so your team sees the highest-impact items first. The summaries below describe what each model looks at and what it surfaces; they do not expose model internals.

Goods enrichment & HS classification

Predicts and enriches the classification of goods, and flags potential HS misclassification using signals such as the goods description and the history of shipments between sender and receiver. Records are triaged by the potential revenue impact of misclassification, prioritizing cases where a small code change drives a large duty difference.

Valuation

Flags potential misvaluation by comparing declared values against valuation benchmarks and historical values for comparable goods and trade lanes. Surfaces both under- and over-valuation, and highlights repeat patterns across multiple shipments.

Country of origin

Flags potential misdeclaration of country of origin, including illicit transshipment detection, Section 232 exposure, and origin-content attestations. Indicators include entities receiving and re-exporting goods with little likelihood of substantial transformation, and volume spikes that track tariff or duty changes.

Restricted & denied party screening

Screens for links to officially listed restricted and denied parties, and assigns a persistent risk flag to a company or its subsidiary network. Multi-tier screening extends this through the value chain for areas such as forced labor and military-influence organizations, surfacing exposure that sits several tiers upstream of the importer.

Counternarcotics

Screens for indicators of trafficking in synthetic narcotics, their precursors, and production items such as pill-press machinery, then triages entities by their overall trafficking profile — while filtering out legitimate pharmaceutical trade.
