What this is

Certrow shows data that CPSC publishes, and checks spreadsheets against CPSC's published CSV template rules. It is an information tool, not tax, legal or professional advice, and it is not a substitute for a customs broker, a compliance professional or CPSC's own guidance.

Not affiliated

Certrow is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, U.S. Customs and Border Protection or any testing laboratory.

It does not replace testing

A certificate is a legal statement by the certifier that a product was tested and complies. The tool formats the details you supply; it cannot know whether they are true. Use only identifiers, dates and report numbers from real test reports. Knowingly making a false statement on a certificate is a federal crime.

Accuracy

The lists are copied from CPSC on the dates shown on each page and can fall behind. The HTS list itself says it does not cover every code where a certificate may be required. A file that passes here can still be rejected by the Product Registry, and a passed file is not a finding that your product complies. Check anything important against CPSC's current documents, which govern.

No warranty

The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, there is no liability for losses arising from its use, including shipment delays, penalties or rejected filings.

Price

Looking up codes, checking a file and the written report are free. The three downloads (V3 bulk file, broker sheet, CPC/GCC PDF) cost $29 for one validated file of up to 25 products, or $79 for a year of unlimited files and products. Prices are in US dollars and are shown again on the checkout page before you pay.

After you pay

Payment is taken on a checkout page run by Stripe, which opens in a new tab. Once the payment is confirmed with Stripe, the downloads unlock in the tab that holds your checked file, so keep that tab open while you pay. If that tab was closed, the page you are sent back to says so: the file is never uploaded, so choose it again there and the downloads are ready. A payment for one file unlocks the downloads for 30 days, so a corrected file can be downloaded again; a payment for a year unlocks them for a year. A payment that has been refunded or disputed no longer unlocks them. The unlock is kept in that browser's storage: it does not carry to another browser or device, and clearing site data removes it. If that happens, write to us and say the email address used at checkout.

Refunds

To ask for a refund, or about any payment, write to [email protected] or use the contact page, and give the date of the payment and the email address used at checkout.
