USA - CPSC Implements Mandatory eFiling for Certificates of Compliance, Targeting Dangerous Foreign Imports
Business description
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has implemented a mandatory eFiling program (effective July 8, 2026) requiring importers of regulated consumer products to electronically submit compliance certificates before their goods enter U.S. commerce.
The program does not create new testing or certification obligations, as importers were already legally required to maintain this information - it simply modernizes how the data is transmitted to the CPSC.
The initiative aims to more efficiently identify high-risk imported products, strengthen coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and level the playing field for compliant American manufacturers and importers.
