Common questions (3)

What should I ask my supplier for before importing to the US?

The compliance papers usually sit with the supplier. Depending on the product, that means safety test reports and a CPC or GCC where a CPSC rule applies, FCC details for electronics, fiber content and care labels for textiles, and material or origin details. The free supplier request is a ready-to-send request, grouped by US agency (CPSC, FCC, FTC, EPA, DOE, FDA), that asks for exactly this in plain words and in the supplier's language. It's a request template, not a customs filing.

How do I ask an overseas supplier for compliance certificates?

Give them a checklist they can act on, in their own language, naming the exact documents each US agency expects. A vague "send compliance docs" gets you guesswork. The pack does this: a request for the supplier grouped by agency, plus a cover page for you on what to send when, and which items are yours, not theirs. It prepares the request. It doesn't decide whether your product is regulated.

Is the supplier request free, and is anything stored?

Yes. It's free, needs no signup, and nothing is stored. Enter a few details and download the pack; it's built in your browser. It sorts what you ask for by import stage and by agency, so what comes back feeds your certificate paperwork or a supplier check.
