Product Passports, an AI-informed product offered by Altana, will be part of CBP's Global Business Identifier program, the company announced Oct. 1. The product allows companies to track their products' supply chains and share that information with CBP before manufacturing or arrival at the U.S. border, Altana said. "After that, future shipments of those goods can reference the Altana Product Passport ID in their customs filings, showing they have already been validated, similar to the Global Entry program, but for products. The system leads to faster customs clearance and fewer delays for trusted traders, while also helping CBP more effectively focus its enforcement efforts," it said.
