Who must issue the General Certificate of Conformity?
A4: In the case of imported product, the importer must issue the certificate. In the case of domestically produced product, the domestic manufacturer must issue the certificate. Neither foreign manufacturers nor private labelers (foreign and domestic) are required to issue the certificate nor do they need to be identified on the certificate. The importer and domestic manufacturer would furnish the certificate to distributors, retailers and the CPSC enforcement team upon request.
