    Question

    CPSC Mandatory eFiling Through ACE System Affects Cross-Border Amazon Sellers

    Direct answer

    The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has made electronic certificate filing mandatory across U.S. Customs' Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system. Importers must submit certificate data before goods arrive at ports of entry. Third-party merchants on e-commerce platforms including Amazon face heightened supply chain administration and potential shipment delays if documentation does not match ACE customs records precisely.
