Halloween costume CPC for Amazon sellers
Rules costume importers usually cite
- ASTM F963 (toys / costume accessories when tested as children’s products).
- 16 CFR Part 1610 — flammability of wearing apparel (plain-surface vs raised-fiber fabrics).
- CPSIA lead and phthalates on plastics, coatings, and trims.
- CPSIA Section 103 tracking labels on garment and packaging.
Amazon timing for Halloween SKUs
Peak season means Amazon and TICs review documents under load. Lock age grade (often 3+ for full masks), material specs, and colorways before sampling. If you add glow elements, batteries, or licensed prints mid-season, treat each change as a retest trigger — not a label swap.
After the lab report
Issue the CPC in the importer name citing exactly what the report covers, store report + certificate together, and upload before inbound spikes. Register your company if you want lab intros or a vault keyed to annual revalidation.

No account, no upload: the certificate is built in your browser and saved to your local vault.
Questions people ask
Are adult Halloween costumes exempt?
If clearly marketed only to adults with no child appeal, they may fall outside children’s product rules — but mixed marketing or child sizes usually pulls you back into CPSIA. When in doubt, age-grade and test.
Do capes and wings need small-parts testing?
Detachable small components and embellishments can trigger small-parts and choke hazards for under-3 grades. Your lab plan should follow the finished costume, not a flat fabric swatch alone.
