CPSC eFiling
eFiling is a CPSC initiative to enable importers of regulated consumer products into the United States, to file electronically with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) certain data elements from a certificate of compliance, via a Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set.
- Purpose: eFiling will improve the safety of consumer products imported into the U.S., by enhancing CPSC’s risk assessment, targeting, and enforcement ability to interdict noncompliant consumer products at the ports.
- Product Scope: Includes General Certificate of Conformity (GCC) for products intended for adults, such as Apparel, Mattresses, Cigarette Lighters, and Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) for products intended for children/infant such as Toys, Sleepwear, and Juvenile Furniture. See full list
