Guide to Obtaining Amazon CPC Certification Report for Plastic Book Covers
I. Do Plastic Book Covers Require CPC?
Yes. Plastic book covers fall under the category of stationery widely used by children under 12 years old, and are subject to mandatory CPSC regulation as "children's products." Regardless of whether they are labeled "children's," if they may be used by children, a CPC certificate is required for compliant sale on Amazon US.

Amazon Compliance Points: ① The report must show the same ASIN/SKU as the listing link; ② The manufacturer, importer, and production date information in the CPC must match the actual product label; ③ Amazon conducts very frequent spot checks on children's products. Failure to upload a CPC may result in forced listing removal and fund freeze. It is recommended to apply 30 days in advance to avoid affecting sales plans.
