Importing issues

[skyhigh007]

Hi

I'm trying to manufacture toys in China and import them to U.S.A. My concerns are How to meet the U.S Safety standards for toys and where can i find those standards? Do I need to test PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) ?

Thanks

Skyhigh,

With the bad publicity China has been getting regarding their toys would your really want to still get into that?

Regardless, here's the site you can do your research in.

CPSC Home Page

Good luck,

There is still a lot of money to be made in toys from China. The key really is supplier management and defining your requirements. I know for a lot of the lead paint issues was caused because no one did their homework to see if lead paint was legal or not in China.

I can probably help you also. Success in China is all about finding the right supplier and developing the right relationships.
