Lab booking intros for children’s product importers

If you know you need CPSC-accepted testing but do not want to cold-email every major lab, a lab-booking intro helps you describe the product, age grade, and rule list once — then pursue quotes with clearer scope. You still choose the lab and pay them directly.

What you prepare

  • Product photos + material list.
  • Intended age grade and marketplaces (Amazon US, Walmart, etc.).
  • Known rules or “not sure — need lab to confirm”.
  • Target ship date so turnaround is realistic.

What ShadowOps does not do

We do not run the lab, decide legal applicability, or guarantee a pass. We help importers move from “I need testing” to a structured booking conversation, then generate the CPC after the report.

Questions people ask

Is the intro free?

Check current /lab-book/ pricing. Certificate generation remains free.

Do I need a company account?

Registering your importer company keeps intros and certificates under one entity — recommended for multi-SKU brands.
