What is CPSC eFiling?

CPSC eFiling is a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) initiative that makes product safety data electronic and mandatory for all regulated consumer goods imported into the United States. It helps importers fulfill the latest CPSC electronic filing compliance rules and U.S. import safety standards— reducing risk and streamlining border entry.

eFiling Requirements & Effective Dates

eFiling Requirement	Effective Dates	Scope of Products
Mandates importers of regulated consumer products submit data from certificates of compliance electronically to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)	Effective date for most imported consumer products is July 8, 2026. For products imported into Foreign Trade Zones, the effective date is January 8, 2027.	Requirement applies to imported consumer products that must meet mandatory CPSC safety standards.

Start preparing now: Most testing programs run on 12-month cycles. Submit product certificate data during your next testing phase so it’s ready before the July 8, 2026 deadline. Late or missing submissions may result in costly customs holds or delays.
