How is the Total Cost of Non-Compliance (TCNC) calculated?

The TCNC is calculated based on the estimated value of your assets plus known legal penalties, administrative fines (often 2x to 5x duty), and operational costs associated with delays (loss of revenue, extended storage fees). Our calculator uses local regulatory risk data to provide an instant, quantified risk estimate.

What specific compliance risks does TFTIOR mitigate?

TFTIOR mitigates risks associated with misclassification of Dual-Use goods, missing BTK (telecom) or TITCK (medical) permits, failure to obtain export control licenses, and non-compliance with NIST 800-88 standards for data destruction.

Why is certified data destruction included in IOR services?

For global technology assets, the legal liability doesn't end at import. We include certified, on-site data destruction (NIST/GDPR compliant) to provide a complete, 'cradle-to-grave' audit trail that protects the client from future data security fines.

Do I still need a customs broker if I use TFTIOR's IOR service?

No. TFTIOR acts as the legal Importer of Record, handling all legal liabilities, customs declarations, tax payments, and logistics, integrating the role of the customs broker into our comprehensive, zero-risk solution.

Compliance Risk Calculator: Total Cost of Non-Compliance (TCNC)

Why Compliance is the Non-Negotiable Cost

For high-value technology and data center infrastructure, the "cheapest" logistics option often becomes the most expensive mistake. Our deep expertise in IT Asset Lifecycle Management reveals the hidden dangers of non-compliant IOR solutions.

Regulatory Gridlock: Servers stuck waiting for complex licenses (e.g., BTK or Wassenaar) due to paperwork errors.
Financial Catastrophe: Penalties for misclassified Dual-Use hardware that often exceed the asset value.
Post-Mortem Risk: Lack of certified documentation for the lifecycle, leaving you open to data privacy fines.

How Non-Compliance Triggers Penalties

The calculation above is based on real-world financial triggers:

1. Misclassification (The Tax Trigger)

Labeling a switch with encryption as "standard peripheral" is a misclassification. Penalties can reach 2x to 5x the duty difference. For a $200k shipment, this can mean a $100k fine instantly.

2. Missing Permits (The Seizure Trigger)

Importing telecom gear without prior approval (like BTK in Turkey) leads to indefinite seizure. The cost includes lost asset value, daily storage, and massive operational delays.

3. Data Destruction (The Legal Trigger)

Modern laws (GDPR) require verifiable proof of data sanitization (e.g., NIST 800-88). Lack of this documentation exposes you to multi-million dollar privacy fines.
