The Consumer Product Safety Commission has launched a beta pilot to test importers’ and brokers’ ability to electronically file (via a PGA message set) data from certificates of compliance for CPSC-regulated consumer products at the time of entry filing and the CPSC’s capability to collect and risk assess this data. This test has more than 30 participants and its findings will be used to inform a future rulemaking to make e-filing permanent, which the CPSC expects to take place by early 2025.
The CPSC states that importers participating in the pilot will see reduced risk scores over time based on the amount of data provided, which may result in reduced hold times, fewer exams, and reduced importer costs.
