Dear Sirs,
Commercial
Information Circular No. 510/2011
US
: Possible Impacts on Textiles and Clothing Products by the Consumer
Product
Safety Improvement Act of 2008 - Part 5
Traders have been
informed via Commercial Information Circulars (CIC) from time to time
of developments with respect to the implementation of the US Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). In particular, CIC No.
574/2008 dated 18 November 2008, CIC No. 598/2008 dated 1 December 2008,
CIC No. 118/2009 dated 5 March 2009 and CIC No. 42/2010 dated 22 January
2010 summarised the possible impacts of the CPSIA on textiles and clothing
products. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has since
modified the enforcement schedule of testing and certification requirements
and made several clarifications to the CPSIA. In order to facilitate
traders to have a clearer understanding of the latest CPSIA requirements
on textiles and clothing, some frequently asked questions (FAQs) are
prepared at Annex
(pdf format).
