CPC or GCC? The 2-minute decision flow
Companion to Sobel Network's "CPSC Mandatory E-Filing Era is Here" — the next step after "what changed" is "what do I need", and this gives you the answer with the exact citations.
What happens next
Once you know the certificate type, your customs broker files the data with CBP on your entry (mandatory for CPSC-regulated products since July 8, 2026 — 16 CFR 1110). The certificate is the what; the broker is the how.
Your broker handles the filing
Sobel Network prepares and files the certificate data with your entry — no 1USG warnings, no holds, no “where's the certificate?” emails.
This decision flow is free, needs no signup, and stores nothing — built by EntryReady with Sobel Network. It is a first-step tool, not legal advice; your broker or a compliance professional confirms the final filing.
