Quick Answer

Amazon Toy Compliance Documents Checklist (2026)

Updated March 29, 2026By Prodovo Labs Compliance Team

Amazon sent you a compliance request for your toy listing and you need to know exactly what to submit. Here's the document checklist — what each document is, where to get it, and the formatting mistakes that cause rejections.

Quick Answer

Amazon requires three documents for toy listings: a Children's Product Certificate (CPC), third-party test reports from a CPSC-accepted lab covering CPSIA and ASTM F963, and tracking labels on product packaging. Submit these through Seller Central's compliance portal in PDF format when requested.

Why You're Probably Here

You received an Amazon compliance request and the clock is ticking

Amazon gives you 30 days. After that, your listing is suppressed. You need to know exactly what to submit — no guessing, no wrong documents.

What Matters Most

Amazon wants three things: CPC + test reports + tracking label evidence

Submit all three together. The CPC references the test reports. The tracking label info can be a photo of your product's label.

Rejections happen because of formatting, not safety failures

Most rejections are because the CPC is missing a required field (lab address, regulation citations, product description) or the test report is from a non-CPSC lab.

Requirements

Children's Product Certificate (CPC)

Required

CPSIA Section 14(a)

Testing Required

A document YOU create certifying your toy meets all applicable safety standards. References your test reports.

Why it applies: Amazon requires a CPC for all toy listings. This is the #1 document they request.

What this means for you: This is a one-page document you create. Not a test report. Not a certificate from a lab. YOU write it, referencing your test reports.

Third-Party Test Reports

Required

CPSIA Section 14(a)(2)

Testing Required

Test reports from a CPSC-accepted lab covering CPSIA (lead, phthalates) and ASTM F963 (toy safety).

Why it applies: Amazon requires test reports from CPSC-accepted labs as evidence supporting your CPC.

What this means for you: The lab reports that prove your toy passed safety testing. Your supplier probably has these — ask before paying for new testing.

What Sellers Get Wrong

Submitting only the test report without a CPC

Why sellers do this: Sellers think the test report IS the CPC.

The reality: Amazon will reject it. They specifically ask for a CPC — a separate document you create that references the test report.

Submitting a CPC that doesn't match the ASIN being reviewed

Why sellers do this: Sellers use a generic CPC that doesn't reference the specific product.

The reality: Amazon cross-references the product description on your CPC with the ASIN. If they don't match, it's rejected.

What Most Guides Won't Tell You

Submit everything in one PDF if possible

Combine your CPC and test reports into one PDF. Amazon's review team processes these faster than multiple separate uploads.

First-time submissions get processed faster than resubmissions

If Amazon rejects your first submission, the resubmission goes to the back of the review queue. Get it right the first time.

What To Do Next

1

Get your test reports

Ask your supplier for CPSIA and ASTM F963 test reports from a CPSC-accepted lab.

2

Create your CPC

Write a CPC document with: product description, safety rules, importer info, lab details, test report dates, and manufacturing location.

3

Submit through the compliance portal

Upload via the compliance portal in Seller Central — not through a support case or appeal.

4

Scan your product to make sure you're not missing anything

Run a Prodovo Labs scan to verify every regulation that applies to your specific toy. Don't let Amazon come back asking for additional documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my supplier's test report for my Amazon CPC?
Yes, if the report is from a CPSC-accepted lab and covers your exact product. You still need to create a separate CPC document that references the test report.
How long does Amazon take to review compliance documents?
Typically 3-10 business days. During major compliance sweeps, reviews can take longer. Submit early and correctly the first time.
What if my supplier doesn't have test reports?
Commission testing at a CPSC-accepted lab (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas, TÜV). Send 3-5 production samples. Budget $500-$2,000 and 3-6 weeks.
