Amazon US to Enforce Electronic Declaration for CPSC Certificates Starting July 8
Amazon requires all regulated consumer goods (including children's products and clothing) shipped to US FBA to complete electronic certificate declarations before customs clearance. Non-compliance will cause delays or rejections, so sellers need to verify ASINs and prepare compliance documentation in advance.
What are the key facts?
- 1Effective date: July 8, 2026
- 2Regulatory authority: US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
- 3Requirement: FBA imported consumer goods must electronically declare GCC/CPC certificates via CBP ACE or CPSC systems
What happened?
Amazon US has announced that starting July 8, 2026, all imported consumer goods under CPSC regulation must complete electronic declarations for the General Certificate of Conformity (GCC/CPC) via the CBP ACE system or CPSC official system before arriving at customs. Goods in Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ) will have a grace period until January 8, 2027. Sellers need to verify ASIN compliance and prepare seven pieces of information, including product ID, regulatory code, manufacturing information, and lab testing data.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers need to immediately check if their products fall under CPSC regulation and confirm the electronic declaration process with customs brokers to avoid disruptions during peak season.
