Sık sorulan sorular

Are conference giveaways for adults in scope?

Only if primary intent is for children 12 and under: adult-targeted merch is out of scope even if a child receives it.

Is a branded crayon a toy?

Generally yes: ASTM F963 + CPSIA apply; 16 CFR 1500.14 confirms drawing implements as toys.

Who signs the CPC?

The US-based importer or US-based manufacturer; not the foreign factory.

Does CPSIA apply to digital products?

No: CPSIA applies to physical products; software and apps are out of scope.

How does small-parts testing work?

16 CFR 1501 small-parts cylinder: components fitting fully inside are choking hazards for under-3.
