Can I sell baby products on Amazon, and what do I need?
Yes, but Amazon asks for proof first. For baby gear made for a child under 5, that's a CPC (Children's Product Certificate) and a test report from a CPSC-accepted lab. You also need photos of every side showing the tracking label. Cribs, strollers, high chairs and other durable baby products need a product registration card too.
See the plan for your product →This page covers baby gear for a child under 5, such as cribs, strollers, high chairs and carriers. Car seats follow a different agency's rule, and the free check in the plan tells you which rules apply to yours.
What does Amazon ask for before you list baby products?
- A CPC from the US importer or the maker, in English. Amazon can't be named on it.1 Amazon help, “Children's Product Certificate (CPC)” ↗
- A test report from a CPSC-accepted lab. For toys: issued in the last 12 months.2 Amazon help, “Children's toys” ↗
- Photos of every side of the product and the box. The tracking label and warnings must show.2 Amazon help, “Children's toys” ↗
- Toys are on Amazon's enhanced-safety list, and so are some other products. For these, you need at least $1M of liability insurance before you list. If Amazon sends a notice about a listing, a tester Amazon approves checks the documents.3 Amazon help, “Enhanced safety listing requirements” ↗
- Based in mainland China? You have to buy this insurance through Amazon's own program, the Amazon Insurance Accelerator, unless Amazon agrees otherwise in writing.4 Amazon help, “Commercial Liability Insurance Requirements” ↗

- If the CPC shows an ASIN (Amazon's product ID), it must match the listing exactly.1 Amazon help, “Children's Product Certificate (CPC)” ↗
- Decide whether the product needs a Prop 65 warning. If it does, set the warning type and chemical names on the Compliance tab.5 Amazon help, “California Proposition 65” ↗
- Set it on every child SKU that needs one, not the parent: Amazon rejects a warning sent on the parent SKU, and the upload fails.5 Amazon help, “California Proposition 65” ↗
- Amazon applies this even with fewer than 10 employees.5 Amazon help, “California Proposition 65” ↗
- Don't send Amazon labels or signs.5 Amazon help, “California Proposition 65” ↗
What does the law ask for, whatever the marketplace?
- A CPC (Children's Product Certificate) for the product. The importer issues it, based on tests at a CPSC-accepted lab.1 16 CFR 1110.7(a), who certifies an import ↗
- Keep the CPC and the test records 5 years. CPSC can ask for the records.2 16 CFR 1107.26, children's product records ↗
- CPSC or customs can ask for the certificate; it's due within 24 hours.3 16 CFR 1110.13(c), certificate within 24 hours ↗
- A tracking label on the product and its packaging.4 15 U.S.C. 2063(a)(5), tracking labels ↗

More the law asks for this product (4)
- California requires a clear warning before anyone is exposed to a chemical on its list.6 Cal. Health & Safety Code 25249.6 ↗
- Businesses with fewer than 10 employees are outside the law.7 Cal. Health & Safety Code 25249.11(b) ↗
- This plan doesn't yet say how or where to warn: on the label, in a notice to stores, or online. That waits until the official rules are read.
- Minnesota: since January 2025, many products can't contain PFAS that was added on purpose. The law calls it “intentionally added PFAS”. PFAS are known as forever chemicals. The ban covers cookware, cosmetics, carpets and cleaning products. It also covers juvenile products, textile furnishings, upholstered furniture and more. PFAS only in electronic or internal parts is allowed.8 Minnesota Statutes 116.943, subd. 5 ↗

What does that look like for one product?
Say you sell a stroller on Amazon. You need its CPC from the US importer or the maker, and a test report from a CPSC-accepted lab. You need photos of every side showing the tracking label and warnings. And a stroller is a durable baby product, so it needs a product registration card.
