CPSC PGA Message Set checklist for importers

Use this checklist to prepare reviewed product certificate information for a broker or other authorized filer. Confirm current technical requirements and broker-specific formats before transmission.

Certificate approval

• Confirm the product requires certification
• Identify the correct CPC or GCC
• Validate applicable citations and supporting evidence
• Confirm manufacturing, testing, laboratory, and contact details
• Record authorized-representative approval

Filing path

• Select Full or Reference PGA Message Set with the broker
• For Full, validate all required structured certificate data
• For Reference, validate Certifier ID, Product ID, and Version ID
• Confirm the referenced Product Registry version matches the imported product

Entry mapping

• Map SKUs and models to commercial invoice and entry lines
• Resolve variants, assortments, kits, and multipacks
• Confirm quantities and shipment references
• Identify the importer of record and broker contact

Delivery and validation

• Export an immutable, versioned broker package
• Deliver through an approved secure channel
• Obtain broker acknowledgement and validation status
• Resolve format, identifier, or line-mapping questions before cutoff

Transmission and response

• Record when the broker transmits the PGA Message Set
• Track rejects, warnings, corrections, and retransmissions
• Retain the ACE response provided through the broker workflow
• Keep Product Registry, transmission, and entry states separate

Change controls

If product or certificate data changes, determine whether a new registry or package version is needed. Notify the broker explicitly and prevent reuse of obsolete data.

ComplyMyImport derives broker packages only from approved certificate versions and records exports as not transmitted until an external filing event is confirmed.
