Requirements for Authorized Agents in the United States (American Generation, U.S. Importers)

According to the requirements of CPSC, after obtaining the CPC certificate for children's products, at the same time, when the US market supervision department conducts a spot check, the name, complete mailing address and telephone number of the US authorized agent are required.

Unlike the EU representative:

The information of the authorized agent in the United States does not need to be affixed to the product, but needs to be provided directly to the e-commerce platform, or presented when the U.S. market surveillance agency conducts a spot check. Moreover, the authorized agent in the United States cannot be an individual, but must be a stable and stable institution and company that can communicate with the market supervision agency at any time 24 hours a day.

As the authorized representative designated by the manufacturer, Meidai is responsible for liaising with regulatory agencies in the United States, and providing assistance and consultation on product accident reports, notices, recalls, etc. through its US authorized representative/US authorized agent 181-0279-7454;

According to U.S. regulations, children’s toys and maternal and infant products imported into the U.S. market require a CPC certificate and a CPSIA report for customs clearance. Now the U.S. has begun to strictly control the information of U.S. authorized representatives in the CPC certificate, and there is no relevant information. The certificate will not be accepted by the customs, and the seller may face penalties such as deduction or prosecution.

Moreover, if the U.S. authorization uploaded by the seller's platform background does not match the U.S. authorized agent information of the registration application, the U.S. Customs will also conduct random checks on the seller's goods, seize or even limit the store authority and other processing!

Consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety and quality of the products they buy, especially for children and infants. Products that do not meet safety standards and regulatory requirements may be a threat to infants, toddlers and children. Manufacturers and retailers of children's and infant products must strictly comply with local market regulations and demonstrate that the safety and quality of their products meet consumer expectations.
