CPC for q4 toy imports
Which rules apply to q4 toy imports
- CPSIA section 101 total lead content in accessible substrate materials.

The testing and certification path
Book testing at a laboratory that is CPSC-accepted for each rule, issue the CPC in your own name citing the rules your report supports, and keep the certificate with its test report for at least five years. Marketplaces ask for the pair, not the certificate alone.
Questions people ask
When do marketplace Q4 document sweeps start?
Amazon and other platforms typically run children’s-product document sweeps from late summer through October, ahead of the holiday buying window. Assume September, not December.
Can I import without certificates and add them later?
Children’s products need certification to be sold — importing without the file risks detention and enforcement. The certificate travels with the goods, commercially speaking.
