CPC certification is the Children's Product Safety Certificate, CPC applies to all products, such as toys, bassinets, and children's clothing, that are primarily intended for use by children aged 12 and under, provided by the manufacturer if made locally in the United States or by the importer if made in other countries. In other words, a cross-border seller who is an "importer" and wants to sell a product made in a Chinese factory to the US needs to provide a CPC certificate to Amazon as a retailer/distributor.

Amazon requires all Children's toys and children's products to provide children's Product Certificate (CPC certificate for short), CPC is similar to COC certificate. Books are required to present CPC certificates for all child-related products on Amazon US, including toys and baby products. Otherwise, they will not be sold. Although called a "certificate," a CPC certificate is not issued by any official authority and is not required to be filed with the government. It is essentially a "guarantee" drafted and fully responsible by the manufacturer/importer that the product complies with all applicable local children's product safety regulations and other laws and regulations in the United States.
