  1. PSIA Children’s Product Certificate (CPC)

    What is a Children’s Product Certificate?

    A Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) is a document issued by the importer or manufacturer, certifying that the product is compliant with all CPSIA requirements.

    The CPC is provided upon request to the US customs, retailers, the CPSC, state authorities or e-commerce market places such as Amazon.com.

    Why do I need a Children’s Product Certificate?

    The CPC is mandatory when importing and selling all children’s products. Here are a few examples of what can happen without a CPC:

    • Products seized by the US customs
    • Freight forwarders may refuse to ship your products
    • The CPSC may issue a forced recall
    • Amazon may refuse to list your product

    You also need a test report to complement each CPC.

    Which products require a CPC?

    The CPC is mandatory for all products covered by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). Broadly speaking, the CPSIA is applicable to all toys and children’s products sold in the United States.

    If the product is marketed as appropriate for use by children of 12 years old or younger

    If the product packaging presents the product as appropriate for use by children of 12 years old or younger

    If the product display (e.g. sold in a toy store or online store selling children’s products) presents the product as appropriate for use by children of 12 years old or younger

    If the product is generally recognized as a product primarily intended for use by children of 12 years or younger

    As such, any product that may remotely be considered a children’s product is therefore covered by the CPSIA – which means that you must issue a Children’s Product Certificate.

    What information do I need to include in the CPC?

    Here is an overview of the information you must include in the CPC:

    Product name and description

    List of applied and mandatory ASTM and CPSC standards (e.g ASTM F963)

    Importer information (US company name, US address, e-mail, phone)

    Contact information of the person with access to the test report (name, address, e-mail, phone)

    Manufacturing location (city, province, country) and date (month, year)

    Testing date (month, year) and location (city, province, country)

    CPSC accepted third-party lab testing company (company, contact person, address, phone, e-mail)

  2. SMETA Audit

    SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is the most widely used social audit in the world

    SMETA is Sedex’s social auditing methodology, enabling businesses to assess their sites and suppliers to understand working conditions in their supply chain.

  4. GOTS Certificate

    was founded by four well-reputed organisations: Organic Trade Association(OTA, USA), Internationaler Verband der Naturtextilwirtschaft (IVN, Germany), The Soil Association (UK) and Japan Organic Cotton Association (JOCA, Japan). Two of these (IVN and JOCA) are textile industry organisations, while the other two (OTA and Soil Association) are organic organisations rooted in organic agriculture and food. Together, they hold extensive experience in promoting ‘organic’ and all had developed individual processing standards for organic textiles. GOTS came about from the desire to harmonise these standards so that they were internationally recognised. The GOTS organisation draws on the advice of, and input from, other relevant international stakeholder organisations and experts for regular standard updates.

  5. US Law Label

    What is a US Law Label?

    The US Law Label dates back to the early 1900s and requires that the filling materials of certain products are specified. In other words, the consumer should know what’s inside a product

    This includes filling materials in pillows, mattresses, sleeping bags, and other textile products. Here’s an example: Polyurethane Foam 90%, Blended Cotton Felt 10%.

    This information must be included:

    • “Do Not Remove” Statement
    • Filling materials (Weight %)
    • Uniform Registry Number (URN)
    • Company Name

    Which products require a US Law Label?

    Law Labels apply to essentially all stuffed products that may be used for sleep, support, or rest. This includes everything from mattresses to barstools. Here are a few more examples from American Law Label Inc:

    • Baby carriers
    • Bean bags
    • Car seat protectors
    • Sleeping bags
    • Sofas
    • Stuffed toys
    • Furniture cushions
    • Kids car seats

    That said, there is no definitive list of products that requires a law label.

    Uniform Law Label

    Law Labels are required in most US states. That said, the labeling requirements differ. As such, most brands opt for a Uniform Law Label that complies with the Law Label requirements in all US states.

    Note: You can see a sample of a Uniform Law Label on page 19 in this guide. The sample label is also provided by American Law Label Inc.

    Label Placement

    The label must be permanently affixed to the product. As such, a sticker or print on the packaging is not sufficient.

    Uniform Registry Number (URN)

    In New York, California, Texas, and many other states, manufacturers register and include the registration number on the Law Label.

    What is a URN?

    Uniform Registry Number (URN) must be displayed on the Law Label in some states. You can obtain a URN when you register in one state – and use it to register in other states that require a URN.

    Can I use the supplier’s URN?

    Yes, importers should use the manufacturer’s URN. That said, don’t expect the average supplier on Alibaba.com to have a URN. Most suppliers are not even aware of the URN or how to register. You may, therefore, find yourself in a situation in which you’re the one that needs to get the manufacturer registered in the United States.

    Is the US Law Label mandatory?

    Yes, law labels are mandatory in most US states. That said, there are some differences when it comes to the following:

    • Labeling information
    • Registration requirements

    Which US states require a Law Label?

    Here are some states in which the US Law Label is required:

    • California
    • New York
    • Illinois
    • Ohio
    • Texas
    • Virginia
    • Arizona

    The Law Label is “de facto” mandatory as it ís required in more than 30 states.

    Is the Law Label required for imported products?

    Yes, importers are responsible for ensuring that products manufactured outside the United States are correctly labeled. In practice, this means that you must provide a ready-made label file, complete with the registration number and other information.

    Label Information

    In addition, you must also provide the supplier with the following:

    • Dimensions
    • Placement
    • Material
    • Color

    Foreign Manufacturers

    Do not assume that manufacturers outside the United States are even aware of the Law Label. It’s up to you as the importer to provide the label and clear instructions.

    Further, you must also verify that the product is correctly labeled during the pre-shipment inspection.

    Filling Materials

    The label must include an accurate description of the filling materials. If you’re importing custom-designed products, you should always include this in the Bill of Materials. If you’re buying a private label product, on the other hand, you need to confirm the filling materials with the manufacturer before you create the label.

    You must verify the filling materials during the pre-shipment inspection, to the extent possible.

    What can happen if my products don’t carry a Law Label?

    Failing to ensure that your products are correctly labeled can result in product recall and fines. It’s therefore critical to ensure that your imported products are correctly labeled – and registered – before you start selling in the USA.
