Which, mandatory including FCC certification, CPSIA certification, California 65, DOE certification, CEC certification and DOT certification.
FCC certification is a U.S. government FCC-controlled certification that tests for electromagnetic compatibility and RF aspects.
CPSIA certification is the Consumer Product Act signed by U.S. President George W. Bush, requiring toys and children's products to be tested by a CPSC-accredited testing organization to ensure that they are free of lead, phthalates, and other hazardous substances, and that they are protected from the harmful effects of hazardous substances on children. CPSIA certification is required for all U.S. Amazon toy products before they can be sold on the shelves.
California 65 Act, known as the "Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Substances Enforcement Act," is the U.S. state of California for the protection of drinking water and food protection act, the control of hazardous substances, including lead, cadmium and other toxic substances. Common customer requests for testing include glassware, ceramic products, children's products, exterior decorative materials, and other products.
DOE certification is a mandatory certification by the U.S. Department of Energy and is required for products on the list, such as chargers, power adapters, televisions, refrigerators, and air conditioners.
CEC Certification is a California energy efficiency standard that requires products sold into the U.S. state of California to meet CEC energy efficiency requirements in order to conserve energy, improve efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
DOT Certification is a mandatory certification that ? DOT certification is required for all motor vehicles and their accessory products sold in the United States.
In addition to these certification requirements, exporting goods to the U.S. for customs clearance is also an important part of the process. Simply expanding to talk about the U.S. trade link is different from other countries in the commodity HS code rules. Here first involves two terms concept, HS code and HTS code, simply put, HS code is the basis of the U.S. use of HTS code.
HS codes use the internationally recognized 6-digit number as the basis for local national classification. The typical HS code consists of 6 digits representing the product category. Many countries/regions append additional digits to provide supplementary details about the level of classification. The six-digit code is the universal standard (the HS code), and the 7-10 digit code (the HTS code), which usually follows the 6th digit, is unique and determined by the individual importing country. For example, the United States uses a ten-digit code when categorizing products, with the last four digits unique to the U.S., allowing for more precise categorization of products. In contrast, retailers use the HTS code to estimate the duties they will have to pay when importing their products into the destination country.
When importing and exporting products, it's crucial to understand the HS code, the HTS code. When companies are unable to determine the exact product classification for international shipments, it can lead to legal penalties and delivery delays.
