The certificate final rule took effect July 8, 2026 for covered non-FTZ products, with separate timing for covered FTZ entries. ### Know before using The portal does not decide whether a product requires certification, identify the correct rules or certificate data, classify an entry, replace the current 16 CFR part 1110 text, or reconcile a filing to an actual shipment. Effective dates and workflows differ by entry route; use current CPSC, CBP, customs, product-safety, and legal review. ## 2.
