To sell carpets on the Amazon platform, the required certifications mainly include CPC and GCC certifications. Specifically, carpet products must pass the flammability tests of 16 CFR 1630 or 16 CFR 1631. Large carpets are subject to the 16 CFR 1630 standard, while small carpets are subject to the 16 CFR 1631 standard. This is to ensure that their flammability meets the requirements of U.S. federal law, thereby ensuring consumer safety. For merchants, if they want to sell carpets in the U.S. market, GCC certification is essential. Without this certification, products may be seized by customs or removed from e-commerce platforms like Amazon, and they may also face fines and other penalties.
For consumers, carpets with GCC certification indicate that they have undergone rigorous testing for quality and safety, making them more reassuring to use. The backend requirement is to find a third-party laboratory recognized by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), with a testing cycle typically requiring 5-7 business days.
