CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

Every device you import needs a safety certificate. Starting July 8.

GCC certificates, FCC declarations, lithium battery documentation, HTS classification — consumer electronics have more compliance touchpoints than any other product category. Automate all of it.

GCC requirements for electronics

Every consumer electronic product imported into the United States requires a General Certificate of Conformity (GCC) certifying compliance with applicable CPSC and FCC regulations.

What a GCC must include

Product identification, applicable regulations (FCC Part 15, UL standards), testing lab details, manufacturer/importer info, production date range, and testing date. All fields mandatory — missing any one invalidates the certificate.

eFiling changes everything

After July 8, 2026, GCC data must be filed electronically through CPSC's system before goods clear customs. No more paper certificates handed to your broker. Your data has to be in the system or the shipment sits.

FCC + CPSC dual filing

Electronics sit at the intersection of FCC and CPSC jurisdiction. Your wireless devices need FCC certification. Your consumer products need CPSC compliance. ClearPort AI maps both requirements to each product automatically.

Battery and lithium-ion regulations

UN 38.3 testing

Every lithium-ion and lithium-metal battery must pass UN 38.3 transport testing. This applies whether the battery is packed with, contained in, or shipped separately from the device. No test summary = no shipment.

UL 2054 / UL 2056 / IEC 62133

US market battery standards for portable devices, power banks, and rechargeable battery packs. Major retailers require UL listing as a condition of shelf placement. Your GCC should reference the applicable standard.

Hazmat shipping classification

Lithium batteries are Class 9 dangerous goods. Mislabeling or missing documentation triggers fines up to $100,000 per violation. ClearPort AI flags battery-containing products and generates the correct shipping declarations.

HTS code flagging for electronics

Incorrect HTS classification is the number-one reason electronics shipments get flagged by CBP. The difference between 8471 (computers) and 8517 (telecom equipment) can mean a 10% tariff swing and different regulatory requirements.
