FAQ

Why must Amazon sellers pay attention to TIC direct verification?

Recently, Ningbo Huabiao Testing was officially listed as a TIC (Testing, Inspection and Certification) direct verification audit institution for toys on the Amazon North American site. Starting from September, Huabiao Testing can provide one-stop compliance testing and report verification services for domestic toy sellers exporting to the North American region, helping sellers significantly reduce compliance costs and operational risks. This news not only means that a new compliance path has been opened for toy export enterprises but also indicates further standardization and efficiency in the entry barriers of the North American market.

Amazon New Rule Analysis: TIC direct verification becomes a mandatory requirement

The recent new rules introduced by the Amazon US site clearly require that certain categories of products, such as toys, must undergo direct verification through an Amazon-recognized TIC institution. This change completely changes the previous model where sellers uploaded compliance reports themselves, and instead, it is now the responsibility of TIC institutions to complete testing, verification, and upload results directly to the Amazon platform. Sellers cannot intervene or upload reports during the entire process, and products that fail direct verification will face risks such as link removal and deletion. The introduction of this new rule aims to further enhance the safety and compliance of products on the platform, protect consumer rights, and at the same time regulate seller behavior. For sellers, the traditional mode of entrusting a testing agency and uploading reports is no longer applicable, and they must promptly adjust their compliance strategies and choose a TIC institution recognized by Amazon to carry out direct verification work.

Huabiao（GIG） Testing: A reliable partner on the path to compliance

As an officially recognized TIC institution by Amazon, Huabiao Testing has comprehensive testing capabilities and rich industry experience, providing toy sellers with comprehensive testing services covering multiple indicators such as physical mechanical properties, chemical safety, and electrical safety. Its test reports can be directly uploaded to the Amazon platform, ensuring transparency and authority in the compliance process. Huabiao Testing's one-stop service not only includes product testing and report verification but also covers compliance consulting, process guidance, and other value-added services, helping sellers quickly adapt to new regulatory requirements in a complex regulatory environment and reduce operational interruption risks caused by compliance issues.

Seller Response Strategy: Actively Comply, Seize Market Opportunities

Faced with Amazon's new rules, sellers need to act quickly to avoid impacting their sales plans due to compliance issues. Specifically, sellers should first confirm whether their products fall within the scope of mandatory verification, then select the ASINs that need testing on the Amazon seller platform, and choose Huabiao Testing and other compliant partners from the officially approved TIC institution list to initiate the verification process. Choosing to cooperate with local well-known institutions like Huabiao Testing can not only effectively shorten the testing cycle but also provide enterprises with more targeted compliance solutions due to its in-depth understanding of China's supply chain and international standards. In addition, Huabiao Testing's service network covers the entire country, providing sellers with convenience such as nearby sampling and rapid response, further reducing time and financial costs.

What is TIC Direct Verification?

Starting from September 3, 2025, Amazon will officially implement a new policy: all children's toy products sold on the Amazon US and Canada sites must undergo annual testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) by an accredited organization. This regulation aims to further ensure the safety of children and ensure that all toy products meet strict standards to avoid potential risks. As sellers, if you are still struggling with this new rule, don't worry! Our company has officially become an Amazon DV TIC agency, providing professional and efficient direct verification services to help you smoothly complete the compliance process, allowing your products to be quickly listed and sell globally!

As the world's largest e-commerce platform, Amazon has always been committed to consumer safety, especially for highly sensitive products like children's toys. In the past, sellers might only need to be certified once, but now there is an annual review requirement, meaning that annual testing or documentation verification will become the norm. If non-compliant, your listing may be removed, and even your account could face risk. Imagine how much loss it would be if your best-selling toy couldn't be listed due to compliance issues! But the good news is, as a DV TIC agency, we can directly provide verification services for you, avoiding the cumbersome third-party intermediaries.

Starting from September 2025, Amazon will officially implement the TIC (Testing, Inspection, Certification) direct verification system on its US and Canadian sites. This means that sellers will no longer be able to upload compliance documents themselves; they must complete verification and upload through an Amazon-designated TIC agency. For sellers, this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

Firstly, authenticity and credibility will become core. In the past, some sellers may have uploaded reports through non-standard channels, or even with false materials. The new system requires direct submission by TIC, completely eliminating the possibility of falsified documents.

Secondly, existing test reports are not useless. If your report comes from a laboratory with ISO17025 qualifications, it still has reference value. You only need to submit the report for TIC review, which will confirm whether the content is complete. If it passes, it can be converted into a submission format recognized by Amazon.

Thirdly, cost and timeliness are the most important concerns for sellers. Many sellers may wonder: If I already have a report, why should I pay money? The reason is that direct verification is not just "uploading," but includes a comprehensive review and endorsement of the authenticity and compliance of the documents. TIC agencies need to bear compliance risks for this, so verification services inevitably incur costs.

Fourthly, the cost of non-compliance is higher. If sellers still harbor a lucky mentality and use unverified materials, it will not only lead to product removal but may also result in account freezing, which is more than counterproductive.

Lastly, choosing the right TIC partner is very important. Take Ningbo Huabiao Testing (GIG) as an example; we have completed direct verification services for hundreds of sellers, covering document review, label inspection, rectification guidance, re-verification, and final upload, truly helping sellers pass the test in one go. Compliance is a threshold and also a moat. Sellers can only avoid losses and go further by adapting to new regulations in a timely manner.

Xiao Wang is a seller on Amazon's North American site, and his children's toys were tested last year and received a CPC report issued by an ISO17025 laboratory. Originally, he thought that this report was sufficient to support the continuous sales of his products on the platform. However, after September when Amazon launched direct verification through TIC, Xiao Wang's link suddenly got removed from the store. The reason was: his compliance report had not been uploaded via TIC. Even if the laboratory report was authentic and valid, it did not meet Amazon's requirements due to the non-compliant submission channel. Xiao Wang urgently contacted several service providers and finally found Ningbo Huabiao Testing (GIG). Under our guidance, he handed over his existing report to the TIC institution for review. Fortunately, the test items met the requirements, and after document compliance confirmation and re-uploading, the product was successfully reinstated in the store. However, due to the delay, he had lost half a month of the peak sales season. This case tells us: under the new regulations, having a genuine and valid report is not enough; it must pass direct verification through TIC. Otherwise, even expensive testing can be wasted. If sellers want to avoid similar losses, they should complete TIC verification as soon as possible. The Huabiao Testing team can not only review your existing reports but also help you with label description rectification and secondary verification to ensure one-stop service. Don't wait until your link is removed before taking remedial action; the cost will be much higher than the verification fee.
