What happened?
Amazon issued a compliance alert requiring sellers to complete the electronic filing process for CPSC certificates by July 8, 2026, so goods entering the U.S. market meet import-control requirements and can clear customs and be listed for sale on time. Sellers of overseas products should verify product compliance in advance to avoid customs delays caused by missing filings or non-compliance. Failure to adjust in time could significantly affect domestic and international supply chains.

Sellers must prioritize electronic filing of CPSC certificates and ensure that products meet entry requirements to avoid inventory losses caused by customs detention. The highest-priority action is to prepare the documents required for electronic CPSC certificate filing as soon as possible to support smooth customs clearance.
