What's in a Product Passport

A Product Passport brings together what an importer declares, what Altana models infer from the network, and what your reviewers add — into one structured record. Many of these elements are linked back to the Altana product network, so a passport is not a static form but a connected view of the goods behind an entry.

Importer inputs

• Product information — product name, HS code, country of origin, description, and the site where goods are received.
• Value-chain information — suppliers that contribute inputs to the final good or are involved in its production or transit, including their location and role, and the input goods at each stage with their description and HS code.
• Supporting documentation — notes and documents attached by the importer or their suppliers, which may include packing lists, invoices, certificates of origin, or other substantiating documents.

Altana modeling and risk information

• Entity risk information — whether suppliers appear on one or more exposure lists, including global sanctions and restricted-party lists, Altana-generated analytics, or NGO reports.
• Network-based risk information — multiple AI models screen the full set of information submitted in the passport for a range of supply-chain risks. See the screening models for what each one evaluates.

Border-authority inputs

• Passport status — where the passport stands in your review: In Review, Completed, or Archived.
• Comments — commentary back to the importer regarding passport risks, supplier status, production-process inconsistencies, or any other concerns.
