Get every product CPSC-ready before it ships.
ConformReady checks what each product requires, organises and reviews the supporting evidence, flags missing or conflicting data, and keeps its CPSC record current as products, factories and suppliers change.
From supplier documents to CPSC-ready product records, managed in one place.
Upcoming CPSC deadlines
eFiling arrived in waves. Two are still ahead.
The problem isn't filing. It's knowing every product is actually ready.
Your broker can transmit the filing. The harder part is making sure the product behind it has the right certificate, the right test evidence, the correct factory information and the current version of every required field.
Requirements
Does this product need a CPC or a GCC? Which rules apply, and what testing do they call for?
Evidence
Certificates, test reports and supplier records live across PDFs, lab portals, spreadsheets and email.
Changes
Factories, model numbers, test reports and suppliers change. The old record stays behind.
Shipment pressure
Missing or contradictory data tends to surface the week the broker needs it.
ConformReady finds the gap before the shipment moves.
One current compliance record for every regulated product.
Instead of rebuilding the compliance story from scattered documents every time, ConformReady maintains one record per product: what it requires, what evidence supports it, what changed, and what still needs attention.
How it works
Software does the extraction; a named reviewer signs off.
We map your catalogue
Which products likely need a CPC or a GCC, the rules that apply, the testing they call for and whether CPSC flags the HTS code.
We collect the evidence
Certificates, test reports, supplier and factory records, linked field by field to the document they came from.
We find the gaps
Mismatched model numbers, missing fields, stale reports, factory changes and contradictions between documents.
You approve, we prepare the record
A named reviewer signs off. The record is kept ready for Product Registry and for your broker's filing.
We keep it current
A new product, factory, test report or rule change reopens the records it affects.
Not sure what a product needs?
Check whether a product likely requires a CPC or GCC, third-party testing, and when eFiling applies to your shipments.
Your customs broker files the entry. We make sure the product behind it is ready.
A broker transmits CPSC data to CBP. They are usually not the person deciding whether a test report matches the product, whether a factory change affects the certificate, or whether the evidence behind it is complete and current. That upstream record is what ConformReady manages.
Your customs broker
- Transmits entry data to CBP
- Handles the customs filing
- Files the PGA message set
ConformReady
- Maps what each product requires
- Organises the supporting evidence
- Checks it for gaps and contradictions
- Tracks product and factory versions
- Keeps the CPSC record current
- Prepares the data your broker files from
The filing isn't the hard part. Getting ready is.
The burden CPSC actually described is gathering product information, understanding requirements, coordinating with suppliers, labs and brokers, and building something repeatable. That is the job ConformReady runs for you.
About 20 hours
CPSC's estimate of one-time startup work per importer, under its own rulemaking assumptions: training, gathering product information, setting up a process and coordinating with brokers. Its Beta Pilot participants reported substantially more — a median near 60 staff hours — and CPSC assumed later adopters would need less as third-party tools and processes improved. Monetised at $1,086 per firm.
22 seconds
The average filing itself, once that process exists. Transmitting is quick. Being ready to transmit is the work.

What every plan includes
- A named reviewer who reads your documents; software does the extraction, a person signs off
- Evidence stored with its source: document, page and date for each certificate field
- Versioned records: a factory change or new test report creates a new version, never an overwrite
- Exports your customs broker can file from, as a Full PGA Message Set or a Reference PGA Message Set
What we do not do
- We are not a customs broker and do not file entries in ACE; your broker files, from our export
- We are not a testing laboratory; we work with any CPSC-accepted lab you use
- We are not a law firm and do not give legal opinions; where a question needs counsel, we say so
- We do not certify your products; the importer remains the certifier, as 16 CFR part 1110 requires
Since 8 July 2026, importers of consumer products that need a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) or a General Certificate of Conformity (GCC) must file that certificate's data electronically in CBP's ACE system at entry. The testing and certification duties are not new; they date from 2008. What changed is that the data now travels with every shipment, either in full or as a reference to a certificate stored in CPSC's Product Registry. Mail shipments follow on 22 October 2026 and Foreign Trade Zone entries on 8 January 2027.

What changed on 8 July 2026
The duty to certify is old. What is new is that the certificate's data travels with every shipment.
| Before 8 July 2026 | Since 8 July 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate | Held by the importer, produced on request | Its data is filed in ACE with every entry |
| Route | None: paper or PDF | Full PGA Message Set, or Reference to the free Product Registry |
| CPSC's view | Sees certificates when it asks | Scores each entry line's risk from the filed data |
| Testing and certification duties | Since 2008 | Unchanged: no new testing |
