Amazon: New CPSC Electronic Declaration Regulations Effective July 8
Amazon requires sellers to electronically declare compliance certificate data for CPSC-regulated imported consumer goods starting July 8. Non-compliant goods may face border detention or delays, and sellers must submit seven key data points including product ID, manufacturing date, and laboratory information via a customs broker or CPSC product registration system.

What happened?
Beginning July 8, 2026, all regulated consumer goods imported into the U.S. and entering Amazon fulfillment centers must electronically declare compliance certificate data upon entry. This policy applies to finished goods not imported from foreign trade zones; sellers must provide data to a customs broker or pre-enter it in the CPSC product registration system.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers must immediately verify if their products fall under CPSC supervision and ensure their supply chain can provide complete compliance certificate data, or they risk severe customs clearance delays.
