CPSIA compliance is mandatory when importing and selling all toys and children’s products in the United States. In this guide, you will learn what both US and foreign importers must know about ensuring CPSIA compliance when buying products from China and other countries in Asia.

What is CPSIA?

The CPSIA regulates various aspects of a product. However, all children’s products are subject to the following:

1. All children’s products must be compliant with all relevant safety regulations

2. All children’s products must be tested by a CPSC approved laboratory (there are certain exceptions)

3. All children’s products must have a tracking label attached to the product and/or the product packaging

But that’s not all. The importer shall also issue a Children’s Product Certificate, which is a document stating that the imported product is compliant with the relevant regulations. 

Before you can issue a Children’s Product Certificate, you need to have your product tested. The CPSIA regulates various aspects of children’s products, including substances, labeling, flammability, durability, and physical proportions.
CPSIA Regulated Products

While the term “children’s product” might be rather vague, the CPSC determines any consumer product matching one or more of the following, to be classified as a “children’s product”:

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

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

3. 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

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

Therefore, the CPSIA is not only regulating toys but also children’s furniture and baby products. Below follows a few examples of CPSIA regulated products:

    Plastic toys
    Plush toys
    Dolls
    Children’s clothing
    Baby products
    Children’s furniture
    Children’s Accessories
    Children’s Jewellery
    Toy vehicles
    Wooden toys
    ATVs

These products are very different in terms of design, materials, and functions. Therefore CPSIA applies differently to the various products classified as children’s products. Let’s take a look into the scope of CPSIA regulations
