Abstract

A method includes generating, via a processor, a bill of materials (BOM) representation associated with a BOM indicating at least one good and including a representation of a plurality of dependencies to qualify the at least one good for at least one of a regulatory claim, a duty benefit claim or an admissibility claim. A smart contract code for a compliance declaration smart contrast that references the BOM representation is transmitted via the processor and to a distributed ledger. A representation of the plurality of assertion token is received, via the processor, from a plurality of remote compute devices, and in response to deploying the compliance declaration smart contract. A compliance declaration token is minted, via the processor, in response to receiving the representation of a plurality of assertion tokens and based on the compliance declaration smart contract.
