Why must Amazon sellers pay attention to TIC direct verification?
Recently, the Amazon North American site updated the compliance verification requirements for toy products, introducing the TIC direct verification mechanism and officially listing Ningbo Huabiao Testing as one of its recognized institutions. Starting from September, Huabiao Testing can provide domestic Amazon toy sellers with one-stop testing and verification services for the North American market, helping sellers to cope with the platform's new policies and ensure the smooth export of products.
Policy Background: From Self-Uploading to Direct Verification
Amazon US announced that it will implement a TIC direct verification procedure for certain categories such as toys. Sellers must complete the product compliance verification directly through a testing agency recognized by the platform, and the agency will upload the results to Amazon. This change replaces the previous model where sellers could upload their own test reports, further strengthening control over product safety and compliance.
According to the new regulations, after selecting the ASINs to be tested in the seller center, sellers need to choose a partner from the list of TIC institutions approved by Amazon. As one of the selected institutions, Huabiao Testing can provide sellers with testing services that meet the requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Amazon platform.
Advantages of Huabiao Testing: Local Service, International Standards
With its complete laboratory equipment and professional technical team, Huabiao Testing can conduct multiple key indicator tests for toy products, including small parts risk, lead content, phthalates, etc. Its reports are directly recognized by the Amazon platform and can effectively help sellers avoid link removal or account risks due to compliance issues.
In addition, Huabiao(GIG) Testing is well-versed in the supply chain characteristics of Chinese manufacturing enterprises and can provide fast response, cost-optimized testing solutions, which are particularly suitable for small and medium-sized sellers to cope with multiple batches and small quantities of export needs.
