The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) officially implemented new customs declaration regulations on July 8, 2026, mainly targeting safety compliance reviews of imported consumer products to strengthen product safety supervision.。
Announcement No. 41f915e issued by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on July 8, 2026. In compliance with the new CPSC regulations, the PGA Message Set electronic filing (eFiling) system will be officially launched from now on.。
Products involved include: children's products, textiles, clothing, electronic products, household products, furniture and kitchenware, toys, cosmetics, sporting goods, lithium batteries, etc.
U.S. Customs Notice
New regulations require:
Mandatory submission of CPC certificate: All consumer products subject to the jurisdiction of CPSC must provide CPC (Children's Product Certificate) or GCC (General Certificate of Conformity) during customs declaration.
Third-party test report: The latest test report from an accredited laboratory must be attached. Test items include lead content, phthalates, flame retardants and other substances of high concern.
Label and tracking label requirements: Products must have a clear tracking label (Tracking Label), including manufacturer information, production date, and batch number. Children’s product labeling requirements are more stringent.
Electronic declaration system upgrade: Submit more detailed security data through the US Customs ACE system. The system will automatically compare with the CPSC database, and the proportion of random inspections will be increased for high-risk goods.
All importers (including e-commerce platform sellers) are required to comply and there are no exemptions. A very small number of low-risk raw materials may be simplified, but they need to be applied for in advance.
Detention and fines: Import declarations that fail to comply with the requirements or lack data will be refused. The fine for the first violation can be up to US$100,000 per batch. Repeat violations may revoke the import qualification. If safety issues are discovered, a recall will be mandatory.
Implementation time: Immediately from July 8, 2026.
Transition period: The U.S. Customs announcement shows that although the new regulations will be implemented immediately from July 8, 2026, they are currently mainly focused on warnings, and comprehensive and strict enforcement will be implemented from September 1, 2026.。
Before September 1, even if the HTS corresponding to some goods is marked as CP1 or CP2, the import declarer can still complete customs declaration normally at this stage, and will not be automatically rejected by the customs system due to failure to submit CPSC-related electronic data.
Enterprise response suggestions: Enterprises should immediately conduct self-examination to confirm whether the products in the supply chain have valid CPSC test reports and certificates.
