Common questions

What data should I request from my supplier before importing to the US?

The compliance data behind a US import lives with the supplier: safety test reports and certificates (a CPSC CPC for children's products or a GCC otherwise), FCC equipment-authorization details for electronics, textile fiber content and care-labeling information, and material or origin details, depending on the product. The free supplier request is a ready-to-send request, organized by US agency (CPSC, FCC, FTC, EPA, DOE, FDA), that asks the supplier for exactly this in plain terms and in their language. It is a request template, not a customs filing.

How do I ask an overseas supplier for compliance certificates?

Ask in a checklist the supplier can act on, in their own language, naming the specific documents each US agency expects rather than a vague 'send compliance docs.' The pack does this: a supplier-facing request grouped by agency, plus a cover for you explaining what to send when and which items are yours versus the supplier's. It prepares the request; it does not determine that a specific product is regulated.

Is the supplier request free, and is anything stored?

Yes — it is free, needs no signup, and nothing is stored. Enter a couple of details and download the pack; it is generated in your browser. It organizes what you ask for by import stage and by agency, so the data you get back feeds a CPSC Product Registry filing or a supplier screening.
