What happened?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced that beginning July 8, 2026, sellers importing regulated consumer products must electronically submit compliance certificate data upon entry. This requirement applies to all goods not imported through Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ). Sellers need to provide seven key data points including Product ID, test date, and laboratory information.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Compliance requirements are tightening. Sellers need to ensure the completeness of testing reports in their supply chain and confirm the electronic declaration process with customs brokers to avoid customs detention of goods.
