Attention US importers! The US CPSC will implement the eFiling program for electronic filing of compliance certificates
Time：
2024-07-15
The US CPSC will implement the eFiling program for electronic filing of compliance certificates to simplify the process of submitting consumer product compliance certificates, including Children's Product Certification (CPC) and Basic Product Compliance Certification (GCC).
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the United States has issued a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rule Making (SNPR) to revise 16 CFR 1110 compliance certificates.
The supplementary notice SNPR suggests aligning the certificate rules with other CPSC rules regarding testing and certification, while CPSC collaborates with the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to simplify the process of submitting consumer product compliance certificates through Electronic Filing (eFiling), including Children's Product Certification (CPC) and Basic Product Compliance Certification (GCC).
Children's Product Certification (CPC) - Manufacturers or importers certify that their children's products comply with all applicable children's product safety rules (bans, standards, similar rules or regulations)
Basic Product Compliance Certification (GCC) - Manufacturers or importers of general purpose products (non children's products) that comply with all applicable consumer product safety regulations
The consumer product compliance certificate is an important document for verifying that a product meets safety standards and needs to be entered into the US market along with the goods. The core of the eFiling program is to simplify the process of submitting consumer product compliance certificates and collect compliance data more efficiently, accurately, and timely through digital tools. CPSC can better assess consumer product risks and quickly identify non compliant products through eFiling, which not only helps intercept non compliant products in advance at ports, but also accelerates the smooth entry of compliant products into the market.
At present, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is actively developing eFiling and finalizing its rules. eFiling is expected to be officially implemented and become a mandatory requirement as early as 2025. Future importers will need to electronically archive the data elements in certificates that comply with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations.
When filing with CPSC for eFiling, importers should provide at least the following seven aspects of data information:
1. Finished product identification (reference can be made to the GTIN entry data of the global trade project code);
2. Each consumer product safety rule that has been certified for the finished product;
3. The production date of the finished product;
4. The manufacturing, production, or assembly location of the finished product, including the name, complete address, and contact information of the manufacturer;
5. The date of the last test conducted on the finished product to ensure compliance with the aforementioned consumer product safety regulations;
6. The testing laboratory information relied upon by the certificate, including the name, complete address, and contact information of the testing laboratory;
7. Maintain a record of test results and personal contact information, including name, complete address, and contact details
What are the benefits of implementing eFiling?
Compared with traditional certificate filing, the advantages of eFiling's data-driven transformation will gradually become apparent.
Firstly, for traditional certificate filing, eFiling simplifies the process of submitting consumer product compliance certificates. CPSC can better assess consumer product risks, quickly identify non compliant products, and accurately and efficiently complete systematic compliance management through eFiling.
Secondly, for importers of regulated consumer goods, it can accelerate the smooth entry of compliant products into a good market and improve trade efficiency.
Finally, for consumers, the entry of consumer goods that meet higher safety standards into the market is beneficial without any harm.
Similarly, the competition and challenges that come with it will also be greater, and relevant enterprises and importers should plan and layout in advance.
