Amazon rejected your CPC or lab report

Document rejections usually mean a mismatch: wrong product identity, missing rules, expired practical window, non-accepted lab, or a CPC that does not mirror the report. Fix the underlying file, then resubmit once — repeated bad uploads slow reviews.
Regenerate clean CPC

Most common mismatches

  • Product name / model on CPC ≠ listing / report.
  • Rules cited on CPC ≠ rules on the report.
  • Lab not CPSC-accepted for those rules.
  • Report older than Amazon’s practical window for that category.
  • Wrong certifying party (factory named instead of importer).

Resubmit once, cleanly

Regenerate the CPC from the correct report fields, attach the full PDF report (not a cover sheet), and use Amazon’s compliance workflow. Keep a packet so the next ask is copy-paste.

Questions people ask

Should I change the ASIN title to match a bad CPC?

No — fix the certificate to match the real product and report.

Do I need a new test every rejection?

Only if the report is invalid for the ask. Many rejections are certificate formatting or identity mismatches.
