## Quick answer

Since 8 July 2026, importers of consumer products that need a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) or a General Certificate of Conformity (GCC) must file that certificate's data electronically in CBP's ACE system at entry. The testing and certification duties are not new; they date from 2008. What changed is that the data now travels with every shipment, either in full or as a reference to a certificate stored in CPSC's Product Registry. Mail shipments follow on 22 October 2026 and Foreign Trade Zone entries on 8 January 2027.

## Key numbers

- 246,438 small importers affected (CPSC estimate, final rule 90 FR 1800, FRFA Table 2)
- 57.5 million eFilings a year (CPSC estimate)
- 589 HTS codes flagged by CPSC (September 2026 list)
- 737 CPSC-accepted testing labs (counted 2026-09-22)
