Every tool

One tool for each moment an import goes wrong.

Roughly in the order an import meets them. Most are free. The paid ones cost less than an hour of a broker's time, and are one-time — no subscription.

1 · Before money moves
Screen a Supplier
Three independent checks — forced labor, federal sanctions, CPSC certificate flag — never blended into one score. The supplier’s identity is confirmed before anything is searched. A link that lasts and a PDF that is yours.
2 · Before it ships
Compliance Requirement Check
Whether the product needs a CPSC safety certificate, and which kind, or FCC equipment authorization — from its HTS code and a short questionnaire.
Free
3 · Ask the factory
Supplier Data Request Pack
A ready-to-send request, in the factory's language, for the compliance data an import needs.
Free
5 · Shipment held?
Detention Decoder
Know your hold type and deadline, and get a cited evidence checklist — free. Then an attorney-ready response package, written and ready to customize. The notice is discarded after reading.

What gets searched

Every finding names the government list it came from.

Matched locally against dated snapshots of the official lists, never a live guess. A stale snapshot blocks the report rather than selling it.

Importing runs on a clock. Your broker files the entry. The legal responsibility stays with you — including the things nobody files on your behalf.

10 steps
Step 4 of 28Choosing & committing

Screen the supplier for forced labor and sanctions

Detention, then exclusion or seizure. The burden of proof is yours.

YouHigh riskScreening tool

What this is

The forced-labor rules work on a rebuttable presumption with no minimum threshold: goods traceable to a listed entity are presumed to be made with forced labor and barred, and you carry the burden of proving otherwise. A sanctions match behaves differently again — it can freeze the payment rather than the cargo. Brokers price per entry and do not include this for small accounts.

What you need

  • The supplier's full registered legal name
  • Country, and city or province if you have it
  • A description of what you are importing, or a Harmonized System (HS) code

If it's missed

Cargo is detained and then excluded or seized, with a 30-day window to produce a traceability package. A sanctions hit can also freeze related bank transfers.

Checks the supplier against the UFLPA, OFAC and CPSC lists the government publishes; every finding names its source.

Why we askThis exact name is what gets checked against each government list.
Start typing to see candidate HTS codes — pick the closest, never auto-filled.
Why we askan HS code is the 6-digit product code used in tariff schedules worldwide. CPSC organises its eFiling requirements by HS code, so the one picked here is used to look up which safety rules may apply. This searches the official tariff descriptions by keyword — it is not a classification opinion, and it is not a duty or cost calculator. The code that goes on an actual customs entry is a longer HTSUS code; that is a separate code, set by a licensed customs broker or whoever files the entries.
Optional
Why we askconfirms the exact facility, not just the company name.
Don't have this? Skip it — the check still runs on the name alone.
Add the supplier name to run the check.
