FAQ

Why are more and more toys being judged as 'non-compliant'?

1️⃣ Inadequate or expired test reports Many sellers continue to use old reports, ignoring the new regulations from Amazon. The platform has made it clear that reports must come from a CPSC or ISO 17025 accredited laboratory and must be issued within the last year; otherwise, they are considered invalid. 2️⃣ Ignoring platform verification alerts Verification notifications usually appear on the [Account Status → Policy Compliance → Food and Product Safety Issues] page. If you do not submit a TRF (Technical Review Form) in a timely manner or contact TIC (Technical Inspection Company), the system will automatically freeze the ASIN. 3️⃣ Product information does not match the report For example, if the report indicates 'Plastic Building Toys', but the listing is actually for an 'Electric Construction Set', Amazon's system will classify it as 'High-Risk Mismatch' and remove it directly from the store.

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.

Why must Amazon sellers pay attention to TIC direct verification?

Platform Rule Changes: TIC Direct Verification Becomes Mandatory Recently, Amazon's US site updated the compliance verification process for certain product categories, requiring toys and other items to undergo direct verification by a platform-recognized TIC agency. This means that sellers can no longer choose their own testing agencies and upload reports as they used to; instead, they must have the verification, review, and report submission done directly by an Amazon-recognized TIC agency. This change significantly enhances the transparency and credibility of the compliance process and also places higher demands on sellers' supply chain management. For products that do not pass direct verification, Amazon will take measures such as removing them from the shelves or removing links, which directly affect sellers' sales performance. Therefore, staying informed about new regulations and choosing compliant agencies has become the top priority for current sellers. Huabiao Testing: Professional Testing, Full Process Empowerment As a leading TIC agency in China, Huabiao Testing has long been committed to providing export enterprises with testing certification services that meet international standards. Its selection as part of Amazon's official recognized list reflects its professional capabilities in the field of toy testing and the platform's recognition. Huabiao Testing's service scope covers multiple key indicators such as physical safety, chemical hazards, flammability of toys, and can fully meet the relevant regulatory requirements of the North American market. In addition, Huabiao Testing also provides a full process service from pre-inspection consultation, sample collection, formal testing to report submission, helping enterprises reduce intermediate links and improve compliance efficiency. For small and medium-sized enterprises that are unfamiliar with new regulations, Huabiao Testing can also provide multilingual support and customized guidance to ensure that enterprises can complete the compliance process within the specified time. Seller Action Guide: Three Steps to Implement Compliance To smoothly transition to the new regulatory system, sellers can follow these steps to carry out their compliance work: Confirm Product Category: First, verify whether the toys sold belong to the mandatory verification scope of Amazon; Choose TIC Agency: Select an official recognized agency such as Huabiao Testing through the Amazon seller platform; Submit Verification Application: Check the relevant ASINs, initiate the direct verification process, and cooperate with the agency to complete sample submission and data submission. Through the above process, sellers can continue to maintain the normal listing and sales of their products under the background of strengthened platform supervision.

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.
