Scope and timing

Check the entry pathway before assigning the filing date.

Mandatory eFiling took effect July 8, 2026 for most regulated imported consumer products subject to certification. The later date for products admitted to a Foreign Trade Zone and subsequently entered for consumption or warehousing is January 8, 2027.

CPSC currently describes initial warning messages rather than rejection solely for missing eFiling data. Certificate requirements and enforcement continue. Coordinate the actual entry and required data with your broker; an internal readiness status is not a completed filing.

Source checked October 8, 2026: CPSC eFiling FAQ. Follow current CPSC and CBP instructions for the shipment.

October 20, 2026 source update: confirm international-mail timing.

The September 1 CPSC mail bulletin states October 22, 2026 for certificate-data eFiling on applicable international-mail shipments. A later October 14 CBP announcement moves specified mandatory informal Entry Type 13 procedures to January 20, 2027, with formal entry as an alternative. The checked sources do not establish a CPSC-specific deferral. Confirm the product requirement, entry route and applicable date with the responsible filing professional before assigning a shipment deadline.

The kit includes a separate PDF and HTML International-Mail Source Confirmation Supplement. Read it with the original workbook. The supplement adds a source and broker-confirmation record; it does not select an entry route or treat either date as a universal CPSC deadline.

Why this exists

Mandatory eFiling makes certificate-data quality an import workflow problem.

CPSC's eFiling program took effect July 8, 2026 for importers of regulated consumer products subject to certification requirements. Importers must electronically transmit certificate information before products enter U.S. commerce. The operational challenge is assembling accurate product, certifier, rule, manufacturing, testing and records-contact data—and getting the right information to the filing path or customs broker.

The Syntera kit is an internal control layer for that work. It does not replace CPSC's Product Registry, official CSV template, API, ACE filing, or a customs broker.

Eight working tabs

Dashboard — live product, evidence, broker-handoff and readiness metrics
Certificate Master — product, certificate, certifier, manufacturer and Product Registry fields
Trade Parties — importer/certifier, manufacturer, testing lab, broker and records-contact information
Testing Evidence — lab reports, test dates, testing locations and supporting records
Rules & Exceptions — internal register for supported rule/citation and testing-exception information
Broker Handoff — shipment references, filing path, deadlines, identifiers and broker confirmation
Version Control — product, factory, testing, rule and certificate-data changes
Filing Readiness — final internal review of open evidence and data exceptions

Designed to sit upstream of the official filing tools.

CPSC provides its own Product Registry, CSV upload template and API specifications. This kit helps organize and review the source data and evidence before your team uses those systems or sends filing information to a broker.

Two filing paths create a coordination problem

CPSC explains that importers can use a Full PGA Message Set, providing the required certificate data elements for filing, or a Reference PGA Message Set that points to a certificate stored in the Product Registry using its Certifier ID, Product ID and Version ID. If your process involves a broker, those identifiers and supporting data must be communicated accurately and on time.

Built for the handoffs

Product data has to survive the trip from source document to entry filing.

Control the certificate master

Keep identifiers, certifier information, manufacture data, testing records and source evidence tied to each finished product.

Coordinate with brokers

Track whether the shipment uses full certificate data or Product Registry references, what was sent, when it was due and what the broker confirmed.

Manage changes

Capture factory, testing, rule and product-version changes instead of discovering stale certificate data at shipment time.

Scope boundary

Administrative readiness, not legal or customs advice.

The kit does not determine whether a product is subject to a CPSC rule, choose CPC versus GCC requirements, select legal citations or testing exceptions, perform product testing, assign HTS codes, submit PGA Message Sets, act as a customs broker, or certify compliance.

Official CPSC resources

Educational information and administrative readiness tools only; not legal advice, customs brokerage, filing services, or a certification of compliance.
