How the partner program works — every operational question answered.

Nothing. There is no signup fee, no subscription, and no minimum commitment. You earn from your first successful referral. The program is designed to be zero-risk for partners.

You earn a fee on every engagement that proceeds to assessment or capital offer. The fee structure depends on the engagement type — broker-assisted filing, CIT litigation referral, or claim assignment — and is outlined during your partner setup call.

No. Trade attorneys, freight forwarders, accounting firms, and trade consultants all qualify. Licensed customs brokers have an advantage because they can pull ES-003 data directly from ACE, but any professional who serves importers can partner with us.

No. You retain the client relationship throughout. We work behind the scenes to provide assessment infrastructure and capital partner access. Your client sees the assessment as a service you facilitated. White-label options are available for larger brokerages.

48 hours from your partner setup call. We provide screening templates, referral workflows, email templates for client outreach, and direct access to the partner portal.

At minimum: your client's company name, contact information, estimated annual import value, and the countries they imported from during the IEEPA period (February 2025 through February 2026). If you are a customs broker, the ES-003 report from ACE accelerates the assessment significantly.

No. You can work with any number of assessment providers, refer to any attorneys you choose, and serve your clients however you see fit. There is no exclusivity clause in the partner agreement.

Yes. Brokerages with 50 or more importer clients qualify for white-label options where the Impact Assessment is delivered under your firm's branding. Details are available during the partner setup call.

We handle everything from data collection through assessment delivery. We coordinate with the importer's customs broker for ES-003 data, run the entry-level analysis, map recovery paths, and present options to the importer. You receive status updates and earn when the engagement proceeds.

The partner portal provides real-time status on all referrals, including assessment progress, engagement type, and fee accrual. You have full visibility into the pipeline.

We do not practice law, act as customs brokers, or provide tax advice. The partner program is structured as a referral relationship. If your jurisdiction has specific referral fee regulations, we work within those requirements.
