HAP International (HAP), a recognized authority in supply chain traceability and regulatory due diligence, announced the launch of its new Product Due Diligence Receipt (DDR) – a practical solution designed to help companies demonstrate that their supply chains do not rely on inputs that are commingled with materials manufactured or produced in violation of applicable import regulations when shipping products across borders.
Built on HAP’s TRACE ID global business identifier initiative with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the DDR provides a clear, structured way for importers to present data on product manufacturing steps, verified facts, and primary-source documentation to import authorities. The goal is simple: help companies show how they have addressed key import risks for upcoming shipments without slowing down business operations.
As global trade rules evolve and compliance requirements increase, companies face growing pressure to prove the origin, movement, and regulatory status of their goods. The Product Due Diligence Receipt enables businesses to present this information in a streamlined and defensible format that supports efficient regulatory review while protecting operational speed and predictability.

“New supply chain tracing and due diligence processes must enhance a company’s competitiveness, speed, and predictability,” said Andre Raghu, Chief Executive Officer at HAP International. “As global trade policy continues to shift, compliance commitments cannot weaken the core strengths of a business. The Product Due Diligence Receipt is a necessary and appropriate tool to build on a company’s existing compliance foundation and automate the path to both compliance and competitiveness.”
Unlike traditional compliance approaches that require business teams to manually assemble large volumes of supply chain tracing documentation for each shipment, HAP’s Due Diligence Receipt leverages structured data, verified primary sources, and automation. This ensures companies are supported by technology, rather than burdened by it, so teams can remain focused on core business priorities.
The Product Due Diligence Receipt is designed for companies navigating:
- Cross-border shipments under evolving trade rules
- Increased customs and import authority scrutiny
- Supplier risk management challenges
- Complex multi-tier supply chains
By transforming product compliance information into a clear, organized “receipt” format, companies can demonstrate reasonable care and informed compliance in a way that is practical, scalable, and defensible.
