CPC for private-label children’s brands

If you own the brand and import children’s products into the United States, you are typically the certifying party. The overseas factory supplies goods and (ideally) CPSC-accepted test reports; you issue the Children’s Product Certificate in your name, maintain records for five years, and answer Amazon or CBP with that file — not the factory’s letterhead template.
Issue your brand CPC

Contract language that prevents chaos

  • Require CPSC-accepted lab reports for each SKU/colourway before shipment.
  • Forbid material or supplier swaps without written approval and retesting.
  • Require tracking-label artwork approval as part of pre-production.
  • Own the certificate issuance process — do not outsource legal responsibility to the factory PDF.

Brand portfolio hygiene

Private-label catalogs grow by ASIN. Treat each children’s ASIN as its own compliance object: report, CPC, labels, packet. Shared “one certificate for the whole brand” shortcuts are how suppressions cascade across a catalog.

Questions people ask

Can my freight forwarder issue the CPC?

No. The certifying party is the importer or domestic manufacturer. Forwarders move freight; they do not assume CPSIA certification responsibility.

What if I use multiple factories for one ASIN?

Each manufacturing source needs coverage. Mixing untested factories under one listing is a classic enforcement failure.
