The Automated Recovery Pipeline
How the money flows
Tariffi is the data-preparation platform behind the broker. Your licensed customs broker partner is the filer of record with CBP. CBP/Treasury ACHs the refund directly into your own bank account — Tariffi is never in the money path. Once it lands, Tariffi collects only its authorized fee — by invoice or, if you authorize it, ACH debit — per your fee agreement.
- 01
Data Connection
Secure CSV upload or broker ES-003 ingestion. 1-click LPOA with your licensed customs broker partner.
- 02
Precision Engine
AI-driven HTS classification (6-digit per HQ H350722) + UEV calculation + CAPE drafting.
- 03
Expert Audit
Your licensed customs broker partner reviews & transmits under their own CBP license (19 CFR Part 111).
- 04
Direct Refund
CBP/Treasury ACHs the refund straight to your own bank account. Tariffi then collects only its authorized fee — by invoice or, if you authorize it, ACH debit — per your fee agreement.

Your refund is sitting in the U.S. Treasury. Right now.
$166B+ in IEEPA duties paid 2022–2026 are eligible for recovery through CBP’s CAPE program. There’s no single program deadline — each entry runs its own 80-day CAPE clock from its liquidation date, and your oldest entries expire first.
No retainer. No deposit. No fee unless Treasury pays you.

Every entry is on its own clock.
- 80 daysCAPE filing window
Measured from each entry's liquidation date. Unliquidated entries stay eligible while unliquidated.
- 180 daysProtest fallback (19 U.S.C. § 1514)
If an entry's CAPE window passes, a protest filed within 180 days of liquidation preserves the claim.
- Oldest firstExpiration order
Entries liquidated earliest run out of runway first. Upload your ES-003 to see each entry's clock.
CBP pays statutory interest (currently 5–7%) on top of the refund.
Questions mid-market CFOs ask
Same structure as a smaller claim, filed under the same licensed-broker partnership per 19 CFR Part 111. The differences: (a) your first call is with our Chief Underwriter (20 minutes, not a sales pitch), (b) we’ll coordinate with your existing outside counsel or Big 4 advisor if you have one, (c) fee may be negotiable at this scale — we discuss during diligence.
We work with a vetted network of CBP-licensed customs brokers selected for compliance posture (19 CFR 111.28 responsible supervision and control), filing volume, and port coverage. The specific broker assigned to your engagement is disclosed before you sign the Limited Power of Attorney. Our partner onboarding process is documented in our broker partnership agreement template, available on request at legal@tariffi.io.
Yes. A single engagement can link multiple broker CSV feeds; we fan out ingestion in parallel and dedupe by CBP entry number. If two of your brokers’ filings contain different HTS codes for the same entry, we flag the discrepancy and pause the workflow for your licensed broker(s) to resolve. Per CBP Ruling HQ H350722, Tariffi never classifies HTS above the 6-digit level — all final 10-digit determinations are your broker’s call under 19 CFR Part 111.
Standard tiered contingency (10/15/18%) is the baseline. For claims above $2.5M or portfolios spanning more than 3 brokers, we offer negotiated fee structures that reduce the effective rate. Discussion happens during discovery. No retainer, no advance fees.
We’re a founding-cohort platform — we don’t dress that up with borrowed case studies. What we share during diligence is real: our compliance architecture (broker-of-record model, CBP rulings we’re built on), a sample of our FASB ASC 450-30 contingent-gain memo (admin-exportable PDF, designed for your auditor), and client references as recoveries complete under NDA.
We co-advise. Your counsel reviews the CAPE declaration before our licensed broker partner transmits; they can redline, request additional documentation, or take over the filing under their own license if preferred. Our engagement terms accommodate an existing-counsel side arrangement — details on request.
