ComplyMyImport guide
CPSC eFiling data elements explained
CPSC eFiling requires structured certificate data for imported regulated products. Whether the importer uses a Full or Reference PGA Message Set, the data should trace back to an approved certificate and supporting evidence.
Product ID
Identify the finished product precisely. Use stable model, SKU, or other identifiers that connect the filing data to the imported item and entry line.
Citation codes
Include each consumer product safety rule to which the finished product is certified. Citations must come from current, product-specific applicability analysis.
Manufacture date
Record when the finished product was manufactured. Keep production-period evidence so the date can be reconciled with factory and shipment records.
Manufacture location
Identify where the product was manufactured, produced, or assembled, along with the required manufacturing-party details. Avoid substituting a supplier office for the finished-product factory.
Product test date
Provide the relevant most recent compliance testing date. If several reports support different citations, maintain the mapping behind the structured value.
Testing laboratory
Identify the testing party with complete details. For children's product rules requiring third-party testing, verify that the precise laboratory facility was CPSC accepted for the relevant scope.
Point of contact
Provide the party maintaining the test records. Confirm that the contact is current and can retrieve the underlying evidence.
Validation before submission
Check that identifiers agree across the certificate, report, invoice, and broker package. Validate required formats and controlled codes against current CPSC technical guidance. Preserve the approved input, submission response, registry identifiers where applicable, and any corrections.
ComplyMyImport connects structured eFiling fields to product records and reviewed sources. It keeps certificate approval, Product Registry activity, broker transmission, and ACE response as separate auditable events.
