CPSC 消费品电子申报和咨询服务

UL Solutions 为制造商、品牌商和零售商提供电子申报及咨询服务支持，助您自信应对美国的产品与海关合规要求。

电子申报：美国市场合规证书数字化

在美国进口受美国消费品安全委员会 (CPSC) 监管消费品的进口商将很快需要以电子方式（电子申报）提交特定的合规证书数据。

CPSC 于 2023 年 12 月 8 日发布了一项拟议规则补充声明 (SNPR)。该声明旨在修订机构的合规证书（简称“证书”）规则，使其与现有的 CPSC 测试和认证规则保持一致。此外，它还引入了强制性证书电子申报制度，要求进口受 CPSC 监管的产品和物质时，必须通过美国海关和边境保护局 (CBP) 提交相关信息。

这些证书包括：

普通合格证书 (GCC)，适用于非儿童消费品
儿童产品证书 (CPC)，适用于专为 12 岁及以下儿童设计的产品

上述任一证书中的相关技术数据必须在消费品抵达首个美国入境港口之前，以电子方式向 CPSC 提交。

遵循 CPSC 要求可能较为复杂。UL Solutions 将助力进口商顺利适应这些电子申报规定。

需要进行强制性电子申报的消费品

需要 GCC 或 CPC 的消费品需要符合电子申报要求。这包括自有品牌产品和国家品牌。

了解电子申报的关键规定

美国消费品安全委员会 (CPSC)：

指定了必须为成品签发证书的责任实体，相关要求详见《消费品安全法案》(CPSA) 第 14(a) 条修订版 (15 U.S.C. 2063(a))。
规定了证书的内容、格式及必须满足的可用性要求，详见 CPSA 第 14 条。
针对需认证的进口成品，要求必须通过 CBP 完成强制性电子申报。
明确了适用于零组件证书的相关条款。

对于在美国境外生产并以货运形式进口的成品，产品认证方必须在产品或物质抵达美国港口之前，将 § 1110.11 规定的 GCC 或 CPC 数据输入 CPSC 产品注册系统。

拟议规则对证书可用性的规定如下：

提供证书 (§ 1110.13(b))——成品认证方必须向成品的分销商或零售商提供所需的 GCC 或 CPC。
证书可用性 (§ 1110.13(c))——认证方必须在 CPSC 或 CBP 提出请求后 24 小时内提供证书以供检验。

要符合 § 1110.13(b) 和 (c) 的要求，电子证书须满足以下条件：

应在成品、运输包装箱或发票上以唯一标识进行明确标注。
在成品进入市场流通之日，CPSC、CBP、分销商和零售商应能通过 URL 或其他电子方式访问证书。

如果电子证书受密码保护，则 CPSC 或 CBP 提出请求时，必须立即提供密码。

CPSC 已宣布在实施和执行之间设立过渡期，以便公司适应新规。

Watch now: 5 steps to meet the U.S. eFiling requirements on time

Navigating these regulations can be complex, but UL Solutions is here to help. Here's how to get started with e-filing.

Understanding key specifications for eFiling

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC):

Specifies the entities responsible for certificates that must be issued for finished products as stated in section 14(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), as amended,15 U.S.C. 2063(a).
Determines certificate content, form and availability requirements that must be met, outlined in section 14 of the CPSA.
Requires mandatory eFiling with CBP for imported finished products that are required to be certified.
Clarifies which provisions that apply to component part certificates.

For finished products that are manufactured outside the U.S. and imported as a shipment, product certifiers must enter the GCC or CPC data elements required under § 1110.11 into the CPSC's Product Registry before the product or substance reaches U.S. ports.

The proposed rule specifies the following regarding certificate availability:

Furnishing certificates (§ 1110.13(b)) — A finished product certifier must provide a required GCC or CPC to distributors or retailers of the finished product.
Certificate availability (§ 1110.13(c)) — Certifiers must make certificates available for inspection within 24 hours of request by CPSC or CBP.

Electronic certificates meet these requirements of § 1110.13(b) and (c) if they are:

Clearly identified with a unique marking on the finished product, shipping carton or invoice.
Accessible via a URL or other electronic means to the CPSC, CBP, distributors and retailers by the date the finished product is distributed in commerce.

If the electronic certificate is password-protected, the password must be provided immediately upon request by the CPSC or CBP.

The CPSC has announced a transition period between implementation and enforcement to allow companies to adapt.
