Clients who arrive
with the file in order.
The hours a brokerage does not bill go to the intake back-and-forth: an invoice that disagrees with the packing list, a children's product with no certificate data behind it since eFiling became mandatory, a supplier nobody has looked up. The tools on this site are self-checks an importer runs on their own file before it reaches your desk — so the first email you get is a complete set, not the start of a thread.
Classification, valuation and the entry stay yours. The tools reconcile, look up and format; they never classify goods, compute a customs value, decide trade-agreement eligibility, or file anything. Nothing a client uploads is stored.
What a client arrives with
- 01Free
Documents that reconcile.The Broker-Ready Document Check reads the client's invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificates into key fields (then discards them), reconciles quantities, values, parties, descriptions, origin and dates across the set, and marks what a broker will look for that is missing — each line cited to the CFR. The client gets a gap list to take back to the supplier before the handoff.
- 02Free
The certificate question answered.The Compliance Requirement Check tells the client whether the product needs a CPSC certificate and which kind — a Children's Product Certificate or a General Certificate of Conformity — and whether FCC equipment authorization is in play, from the 6-digit HS code and a short product questionnaire. Deterministic routing, cited to the CFR, and every unsure answer routes toward a certificate rather than away from one.
- 03$39
The Product Registry data prepared.The CPSC Product Registry Filing arranges the client's own certificate data into CPSC's Product Registry upload template, with a README that names every value it changed to fit CPSC's format, plus a draft certificate laid out on 16 CFR 1110.11 for the importer to issue. The certifier uploads the file to their own Registry account; nothing is submitted on anyone's behalf, and the entry stays yours.
- 04$29
The supplier screened.Screen a Supplier runs three independent checks — forced labor (the UFLPA Entity List and CBP Withhold Release Orders), federal sanctions (OFAC SDN and Consolidated plus the Consolidated Screening List) and CPSC's flagged-code list — against dated local snapshots of the government lists, each finding cited to the list that produced it. A negative names what was searched; an unconfirmed company name is disclosed, never presented as clear.
The document cross-check and the certificate check are free. The Product Registry data and the supplier screening are one-time purchases, paid by whoever runs them — the client before the handoff, or the brokerage on the client's behalf.
What it does not do
- —It does not conduct customs business. It never classifies the goods beyond an informational 6-digit HS code, computes a customs value, determines trade-agreement eligibility, or files an entry. Those are the broker's, and every tool says so to the client.
- —It does not prepare an entry or a message set. The Product Registry file is formatted for upload to the CPSC Product Registry, an account held in the certifier's own name; how an entry references a certificate already in the Registry is a question for the entry filer.
- —It does not store the client's documents. Each is read for its key fields on the server and discarded; the packages are assembled in the browser.
- —It does not certify anything. A certificate check says whether a rule reaches the product and which certificate it calls for; a screening says what the government lists hold on a dated snapshot. Neither is a determination, and neither promises a release or an acceptance.
- —It does not pay or take referral fees. There is no referral arrangement in either direction; a brokerage that finds the tools useful simply sends clients the link, and Tiana & Co. is not a licensed customs broker.
Using it in a brokerage
In the document-request email
Add one line to the request you already send new clients: run the documents through the Broker-Ready Document Check before sending them. The client sees the mismatches an officer would flag and the documents a broker will ask for that are missing, and fixes them with the supplier first — so the set that reaches you reconciles on the first pass.
When a client asks about eFiling
The question since July 8, 2026 is “what do I need for this?”, and the data side of the answer is a certificate with the right seven elements and a Product Registry record behind it. The certificate check settles whether one is needed; the Filing arranges the client's data into CPSC's upload template and drafts the certificate for the importer to issue. The entry, and how it references the record, stays where it belongs — with you.
Try the CPSC Product Registry Filing free for 30 days — on as many client products as you like. No signup, no card, nothing to cancel. Ask by email and your brokerage's access link goes out the same day.
The fastest test is a product you have already handled: run its certificate data through the Filing and compare the upload file against what the certifier actually uploaded. Where a client's document goes, what is kept and what is discarded is set out on the data-handling page, written for a compliance review.
Or see exactly what comes out before running anything — see a sample of the upload file and companion notes from a dummy filing, or download it as a PDF.

Every verdict and every routing decision is deterministic code, never a language model's opinion; a model is used for one thing, reading the words on an uploaded page into fields, and it cannot set a result. The government lists are ingested on a schedule and matched locally against dated snapshots, and a check that would run on a stale snapshot is blocked rather than sold. Every finding cites the list, the CFR part or the CPSC document it comes from.
Tiana & Co. is a research and preparation tool, not a customs broker and not a law firm. The public guides below cover the same ground in the open — what a broker needs from a client, what eFiling requires, the certificate behind it — with the primary sources cited.
