What happened?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has implemented new regulations requiring sellers of imported regulated consumer products to electronically file compliance certificate data at the time of entry. Sellers must provide seven core data points, including product ID, manufacturing date, and testing laboratory; violations will result in serious customs delays.

Sellers must immediately verify product compliance and ensure all customs documentation is complete to avoid stockouts caused by missing compliance filings.
