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.

What is TIC Direct Verification?

TIC Direct Verification is a compliance management measure launched by Amazon in collaboration with designated third-party testing agencies. Sellers are no longer allowed to upload compliance documents themselves but must instead have their products directly verified by an Amazon-recognized TIC agency and submit relevant materials. The introduction of this policy aims to enhance the authenticity and credibility of compliance information, ensure consumer safety, and reduce the risk of product removal or account restrictions due to compliance issues. On the Amazon platform, product compliance is not only related to consumer safety but also directly affects sellers' sales and account security. With Amazon's strict regulation of children's products and specific categories, the TIC Direct Verification program was born. TIC (Testing, Inspection, and Certification) refers to testing, inspection, and certification agencies recognized by Amazon. Through this program, sellers' compliance information must be directly uploaded to the Amazon backend by designated TIC agencies, and sellers are no longer allowed to upload it themselves.

Why is direct TIC verification needed?

The main purpose of direct TIC verification is to enhance compliance assurance, improve platform efficiency, and reduce the risk of violations. The audit by authoritative third-party institutions ensures the authenticity of test reports; a unified upload process reduces communication costs between sellers and the platform; at the same time, it minimizes the risk of product removal or account restrictions due to incorrect upload of materials. Even if sellers already have test reports that meet standards such as ISO17025, they must submit them through TIC institutions; otherwise, they cannot meet Amazon's compliance requirements.
