Module Enhancements to Support Regulatory Alignment
Staying ahead of evolving regulations is critical. That’s why we’ve updated several key solutions to ensure you’re covered with the most up-to-date regulatory intelligence.
Trade Classification & Country of Origin Updates
With shifting tariffs, sanctions, and trade agreements creating uncertainty in 2025, accurate trade data is more important than ever. Assent’s updated Trade Classification & Country of Origin solution helps you stay ahead with smarter, more flexible supplier data collection and new enhancements like:
- Multiple Countries of Origin: Suppliers can declare up to seven countries per part and upload certificates for each — ideal for distributors or multi-source manufacturers
- Live HS Code Lookup: Instead of a static spreadsheet, suppliers now access the World Customs Organization (WCO) site directly for the most current HS/HTS codes
HEDSL Module Now Available
The new Heavy Equipment Declarable Substance List (HEDSL) solution supports information exchange for regulated or declarable substances in heavy equipment. Developed with the input leaders across the heavy equipment and chemical industries, this solution:
- Reduces supplier survey burden
- Enhances transparency
- Enables compliance across global markets
- Is ideal for companies managing complex supplier networks in the industrial and heavy machinery sectors
EU REACH SVHC Solution Updates
This latest update aligns with the European Chemical Agency (ECHA)’s Candidate List, ensuring compliance with Article 33 of REACH. In addition to adding five new substances aligned with ECHA’s updates, suppliers can now identify substances of very high concern (SVHCs) above the 0.1% threshold at the article level, helping customers maintain compliance across the EU.
TSCA Restrictions Solution Updates
This update reflects expanded restrictions under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The solution now includes additional final rules from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), helping you identify and restrict substances deemed to pose unreasonable risk in all U.S. states, while accounting for scope-specific exemptions.
We’re excited about what’s ahead and we’re focused on helping you cut compliance red tape with a smarter, more connected program. Stay tuned for the next Innovation Spotlight, where we’ll continue to bring you the latest product updates from Assent!
