Do you support our internal compliance diligence?
Quick answer
Yes. Tariffi provides a diligence pack on request that includes broker-partnership regulatory evidence (19 CFR Part 111, CBP Rulings HQ H326926 and H350722), a FASB ASC 450-30 contingent-recovery memo template, and the full engagement-letter redline — all under NDA.
Detailed Answer
Mid-market importers often have internal compliance review processes that need documentation before approving a new vendor engagement. Tariffi provides a structured diligence package designed for this purpose.
The mid-market diligence pack includes:
- Regulatory compliance evidence:
- Broker-partnership architecture documentation showing compliance with 19 CFR Part 111
- CBP Ruling HQ H326926 reference (AI platform + licensed broker partnership)
- CBP Ruling HQ H350722 reference (AI classification scope)
- 19 CFR § 111.36 fee-structure compliance memo
- Financial documentation:
- FASB ASC 450-30 contingent-recovery memo template — helps your finance team properly recognize the contingent asset and understand the accounting treatment for potential refunds
- Fee structure worked example at your approximate portfolio size
- Engagement letter redline:
- Standard engagement letter in tracked-changes format for legal review
- Annotated explanations of key regulatory terms
How to request: Email enterprise@tariffi.io or mention it during your underwriter-led discovery readout. The package is provided under NDA and typically delivered within 2-3 business days.
Common compliance questions we address:
- "Is Tariffi a licensed customs broker?" (No — data-preparation platform only, per 19 U.S.C. § 1641)
- "Who is the Filer of Record?" (Your licensed customs broker partner, under their own ABI filer code)
- "How are broker partners compensated?" (Flat per-filing fee per 19 CFR § 111.36(c) — never a percentage)
- "What happens to our data?" (7-year retention per 19 CFR Part 163, AES-256 encryption at rest, tenant-isolated)
Related Questions
What does underwriter-led discovery mean?
A named Tariffi underwriter owns your portfolio kickoff: eligibility scan across all your Filer Codes, recovery-probability heatmap per entry vintage, and a single readout before any filing goes to broker review. Underwriter-led is for importers with multi-broker portfolios where standard self-serve intake would miss cross-broker edge cases.
How do you handle procurement diligence?
Tariffi provides a complete diligence package under NDA: broker-partnership regulatory evidence (19 CFR Part 111, CBP Rulings HQ H326926 and H350722), FASB ASC 450-30 contingent-recovery memo template, engagement letter redline, security posture documentation (AES-256, TLS 1.2+, 7-year retention), and reference contacts from comparable engagements.
What is your security posture?
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, role-scoped database access with audit logging, 7-year data retention per 19 CFR Part 163, and broker tenant isolation at the database layer. Under NDA we share penetration-test summaries and subprocessor attestations. Additional certifications disclosed as they become available.
How does the Tariffi broker partnership work?
Tariffi prepares CAPE declaration data from importers' ES-003 files and routes it to your broker portal for review. You remain Filer of Record on every filing under your own ABI filer code. Tariffi never touches CBP servers. You earn a flat per-filing filer integration fee per 19 CFR § 111.36(c) — never a percentage.
