Baar (October 14, 2026) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a Consumer Compact article on eFiling requirements for the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) Product Registry.

Understanding trade party management, certification versioning and upload controls are essential for organizations preparing for CPSC eFiling requirements. Effective data and system management can help reduce errors, improve efficiency and support compliance with CPSC expectations. The article includes key questions on mail shipments, trade party management, certificate versioning and preserving accurate certificate histories, while also providing guidance on controls for reliable uploads.

From October 22, 2026, international mail shipments requiring certificates of compliance must support CPSC eFiling through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and organizations must establish accurate and reusable trade party records while maintaining documented change-control procedures and robust data management processes. The article outlines best practices to avoid errors and ensure data quality.
