What is the CPSC eFiling Requirement for Amazon Sellers?

With only a few days left until July 8, have you completed the eFiling for your cpsc certificate?

If you haven't yet, you need to start preparing right now.

Starting July 8, 2026, Amazon US will officially implement the CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) Children's Product Certificate eFiling requirement. Eligible products must complete electronic filing through the official system; otherwise, it may affect product compliance and normal sales later on.

For sellers operating in categories such as children's goods, toys, and baby products, this is a new policy that must be taken seriously.

What is CPSC eFiling?

In the past, CPSC certificates were typically saved as PDFs or similar files and submitted during platform reviews.

However, after the new regulations take effect, eligible products will need to have their certificate information entered into the official CPSC eFiling system to achieve electronic management. This allows customs and regulatory authorities to quickly verify a product's compliance information.

Simply put:

✅ Not only must you have the certificate

✅ You also need to complete the official electronic filing

Which Sellers Will Be Affected?

If any of the following apply to you, it is recommended to confirm as soon as possible whether you need to complete the eFiling:

✔ Selling children's products on the US marketplace

✔ The product requires a CPSC certificate

✔ Using FBA to ship to the US

✔ The product is entering the US market from overseas for sale

Involved categories include, but are not limited to:

• Children's toys

• Baby and toddler products

• Children's clothing

• Certain electronic products

• Home goods and other products requiring CPSC Certification

Important Deadlines

July 8, 2026

The official implementation of the eFiling requirement begins.

January 8, 2027

This requirement will apply to goods imported through Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ). Regular import sellers only need to focus on the July 8, 2026 deadline.

It is highly recommended that sellers do not wait until the last few days to prepare, to avoid delays caused by incomplete documentation.

What Information Needs to Be Prepared in Advance for eFiling?

It is recommended to organize the following information ahead of time:

1.Product ID

2.Citation Codes (Safety rules the product is certified to)

3.Date of Manufacture

4.Place of Manufacture

5.Date of Product Testing

6.Testing Laboratory Information

7.Contact Person Information

Preparing complete documentation in advance can significantly improve your filing efficiency.

How to Complete the eFiling?

There are currently two main methods available:

• Method 1: Log in to the official CPSC eFiling system and complete the filing through the Regulatory Robot.

• Method 2: Use a service provider or compliance platform that supports eFiling to assist with the registration based on your product information.

If you are unsure whether your product falls under the filing scope, we suggest consulting a professional agency in advance for confirmation.

Three Things Sellers Should Do Right Now

① Check if your products fall under CPSC jurisdiction

First, confirm whether your products actually require a CPSC certificate.

② Verify if existing certificates are complete and valid

Ensure that the testing reports, certificate information, and product information are fully consistent to avoid the need for repeated modifications later.

③ Prepare eFiling documentation in advance

Do not wait until the exact day the policy is officially implemented to take action. Preparing ahead of time is the safest approach.

Every platform compliance upgrade means sellers must standardize their operations further. The earlier you understand the policy and prepare your materials, the better you can avoid having compliance issues disrupt your store's business.
