Certification Introduction:
The English name of the CPC certificate is Children Products
Certificate. Suitable for children's products under 12 years old,
such as toys, cradle, waist stool, children's clothing, etc. If it
is produced locally in the United States, the manufacturer is
responsible for providing the certificate, and if it is produced in
other countries, the importer is responsible for providing the
certificate. CPC refers to a form equivalent to a self-declaration,
which then reflects product information, as well as the tested
product testing standards and projects.
The U.S. Amazon site requires all children's toys and children's
products to provide a Children's Product Certificate (CPC
certificate). CPC is similar to the COC certificate. When listing
children-related product categories on the Amazon U.S. site,
including toys, baby products You will be asked to issue a CPC
certificate, otherwise the product will not be sold. Although it is
called a "certificate", CPC certification is not issued by any
official organization and does not need to be filed with the
government. It is essentially a "guarantee" drafted by the
manufacturer/importer and is solely responsible for it, stating
that its products comply with all applicable local laws and
regulations in the United States. Children's product safety
regulations and other laws and regulations.
When the Amazon platform launches certain categories of products
(such as children's toys, baby products, etc.), merchants will be
required to upload CPC certificates at the same time. Related
children's products without CPC certificates are not allowed to be
sold online.
Currently, children's toy products and maternal and infant products
exported to the United States require CPC certification and CPSIA
reports for customs clearance. Foreign online merchants Amazon,
eBay, and AliExpress also require children's products, toys,
maternal and infant products made in China to apply for CPC
children's product safety certificates.

to be issued by a laboratory authorized by the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Association (CPSC). The authorization can be found
on the CPSC website. In addition, since the testing of the CPC
certificate involves many chemical tests, this is related to the
material of the product. The more materials a product has, the
higher the cost. According to the rules of chemical testing,
different colors of the same material also need to be tested
separately. Therefore, it is recommended that sellers directly test
raw materials to avoid repeated charges and useless operations.
