The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will host a workshop on September 18 to share information and gather data on proposed changes to certificate of compliance requirements for companies that import regulated finished consumer products into the U.S.
The workshop will allow CPSC to clarify issues and understand stakeholders’ concerns related to the proposed amendments to the Certification of Compliance Rule, which would require companies that import products manufactured outside of the U.S. to file general conformity certifications—or children’s product certifications—electronically with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) prior to importation, in conjunction with other customs entry documents.
The deadline to register as a workshop presenter is August 8, and the deadline to register as a workshop attendee is September 5. The workshop will take place on September 18 at CPSC headquarters in Bethesda, Md. More information can be found at the CPSC website.
The CPSC has reopened the docket associated with the proposed changes so that stakeholders may submit written comments related to the workshop through October 31. The Toy Industry Association (TIA) will be submitting additional comments on behalf of members, and is invites any member that wishes to provide input to be included in the TIA’s comments to contact Autumn Moore at amoore@toyassociation.org by August 15.
