Effective July 8, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have mandated electronic filing of General Certificates of Conformity (GCC) for all covered consumer products imported into the United States — including adult apparel.
This new requirement means that any shipment of garments entering the U.S. must be accompanied by an electronically filed GCC before customs clearance. For brands and retailers sourcing from overseas, this adds an extra layer of documentation that must be handled correctly to avoid delays, holds, or even penalties.
What We've Done to Stay Ahead

Immediately following the announcement, we:
Partnered with a third-party accredited testing laboratory
Compiled and submitted our full fabric inventory for GCC testing
Verified that all submitted materials passed the required safety standards
