Amazon US requires CPC certification for children's wooden toys. The following core documents and procedures are required:
I. Required Documents
1. Product Information
- Product name, model, and detailed description (including materials, intended age, features, etc.).
- Product photos, packaging, and labeling (including tracking labels).
2. Manufacturer and Importer Information
- Manufacturer name, address, and contact number (required for overseas manufacturers).
- US importer information (name, address, and phone number)—This is a key Amazon review requirement; missing information will result in rejection.
3. Production Information
- Production date (accurate to the year and month), production address (accurate to the city).
4. Testing Documents
- Test report (English version) issued by a CPSC-approved laboratory, must include:
- ASTM F963-17/23 (Mechanical and Physical Properties of Toys)
- CPSIA Total Lead (≤100 ppm) and Phthalates (≤0.1%)
- Small Parts Test (to prevent choking hazards, especially for toys for children under 3 years old)
- Lead Content Test for Wood Surface Coatings (16 CFR 1303)
- Flammability Test (for textile accessories)
5. Certificate Drafting Documents
- Based on the test report, the seller or the laboratory will assist in drafting the CPC certificate, which must include:
- Testing time/location, laboratory name, and contact information.
- List of regulations that the product complies with (e.g., CPSIA, ASTM F963, etc.).
II. Key Processes and Considerations
1. Testing Agency Selection
- Only CPSC-authorized laboratories are valid (check the official website for the approved list; Dezewei Testing Laboratory ID: 1552).
2. Test Item Priority
- Wooden Toys Focus:
- Mechanical and Physical Properties (sharp edges, small parts)
- Chemical Testing (lead, phthalates)
- Flammability (if containing fabric accessories).
3. Key Points for Certificate Validity
- CPC certificates must be issued by the US importer (not the manufacturer).
- The production date and testing time must not be more than one year old (periodic testing is required).
4. Common Reasons for Rejection
- Missing US importer information;
- Testing standards not covering the latest regulations (e.g., ASTM F963-23, which will be mandatory in April 2025);
- The laboratory lacks CPSC accreditation.
3. Cost and Turnaround Time Reference
- Cost: Approximately 1,000RMB (depending on the complexity of the material; for example, multi-color coatings require separate material testing).
- Turnaround: 5-7 business days (expedited processing can be shortened).
Tips:
Tracking labels (products must be permanently marked with batch numbers and manufacturer information) are a mandatory Amazon warehousing requirement.
Periodically update testing (either when materials change or at least annually).
It is recommended to confirm the wood component treatment process (such as coating type and adhesive composition) with the laboratory in advance to avoid exceeding chemical testing standards. For the complete process and policies, please refer to the CPSC official website.
