CPSC staff is hosting a public workshop to discuss the Beta Pilot Test of electronic filing (eFiling) of certificate of compliance data on Thursday, October 13 in Bethesda, MD.

The Beta Pilot Test will involve a 6-month test of approximately 30 to 50 participants, who will eFile certificate data for regulated imported consumer products with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), using the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set, at the time of entry filing or upon entry summary filing if both entry and entry summary are filed together.  Staff’s Beta Pilot Test workshop will discuss the purpose and mechanics of eFiling certificate data in the Beta Pilot Test and other associated topics.

The workshop will be held in-person and virtually in the Commission’s main Hearing Room located on the fourth floor of Bethesda Towers, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814. If you wish to attend the workshop, please register at https://www.cpsc.gov/Beta-Pilot-Test-Workshop-on-eFiling-of-Certificate-Data, and specify whether you plan to attend in person or virtually by Thursday, October 6.
