Map Your Supply Chain to the Last Tier with Vigilant Global Trade Services

Importers are under unprecedented scrutiny: UFLPA compliance, forced labor due diligence, and the OFAC 50 Percent Rule now demand supply chain transparency down to the granular level—think tracing textiles to the exact geographic origin of the cotton. Knowing your customer and knowing your supplier isn’t enough anymore; you need visibility into your suppliers’ suppliers to proactively manage risk, protect your brand, and meet evolving trade compliance requirements.In this video, Vigilant explains how to operationalize supply chain mapping and supplier due diligence. We cover practical steps like building contractual rights to ask questions, require documentation, and extend visibility deeper into the chain—supporting USMCA and sanctions screening. We also show how technology platforms such as SAYARI, ALTANA and KHARON can map relationship structures many tiers deep, making it feasible to identify potential forced labor exposure long before it becomes a violation or PR crisis. These tools are embedded in our consultative and managed services, providing the robust, consolidated data you need for informed decisions.We also address a common roadblock: confidentiality. Many suppliers hesitate to disclose sub-tiers. Vigilant helps by acting as a trusted third party under NDA to collect sensitive documents and, when necessary, provide them directly to the government.
