What happened?
Amazon US requires FBA sellers to complete the electronic submission of GCC/CPC compliance certificates for imported consumer goods (e.g., children's products, electronics, clothing, and home goods) by July 8. This initiative aims to strengthen the safety compliance of imported goods, as non-compliant shipments may not enter the warehouse or clear customs successfully.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Relevant category sellers must immediately review product compliance documentation and ensure electronic submission is completed before shipping to avoid inventory backlogs or shipment loss.
