Does your product need a CPSC certificate and eFiling?

A 2-minute check. Paste a product link and we read the public listing for you, or answer four questions. Either way you get a first view of which CPSC rules likely apply, whether you need a CPC or a GCC, and when eFiling applies to your shipments.

The rule behind the result

Which rules

Each of the 62 product types maps to rule codes from CPSC's own eFiling citation code list (December 2025) CPSC. The mapping is ours; the codes are CPSC's. See product requirements.

CPC or GCC

A product designed primarily for children 12 or under needs a Children's Product Certificate backed by testing at a CPSC-accepted lab; a regulated general-use product needs a General Certificate of Conformity .

When eFiling applies

Imports since 8 July 2026, international mail from 22 October 2026, Foreign Trade Zone entries from 8 January 2027. Domestic products are not eFiled .

Flagged HTS codes

Whether CPSC's September 2026 list flags HTS codes in the product's category CPSC. Flagged or not, the importer must eFile whenever a certificate is required.

The result is a preliminary assessment, not a regulatory determination. Your certificates and test reports decide.
