Quick Answer: Importing wooden toys is not only about the product. You also need the right documents for customs, retailers, and marketplaces. For the EU, that usually means EN71 reports and a CE Declaration of Conformity. For the US, you need ASTM F963 reports, CPSIA records, and a CPC. ESATOYS — the export brand of Wenzhou Times Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. — has supported EU and US buyers for 24 years. Here is what to ask for.

Why compliance documents matter

Compliance documents protect you at customs, in retail, and on platforms like Amazon. If a retailer or customs officer asks for proof, missing files can delay your shipment or block your sale.

They also protect your brand. If a safety issue appears later, you need records showing the product was tested and produced correctly.

Key documents for the EU market

For Europe, ask your supplier for:

• EN71 test reports, especially EN71-1, EN71-2, and EN71-3

• CE Declaration of Conformity

• REACH statement if applicable

• Importer information and age warnings

• Packaging labels in required languages

EN71-1 covers mechanical and physical safety. EN71-2 covers flammability. EN71-3 covers heavy metal migration. These are the reports EU buyers ask for most often.

Key documents for the US market

For the US, ask for:

• ASTM F963 test report

• CPSIA compliance records

• Children’s Product Certificate, or CPC

• Tracking label information

• Age warnings and choking hazard labels

The CPC is especially important. It shows your product meets US safety rules. The tracking label helps identify where and when the product was made.

General export documents

Your supplier should also prepare:

• Commercial invoice

• Packing list

• Bill of lading or air waybill

• Certificate of origin if required

• Carton marks and shipping labels

These files help your goods clear customs faster and reduce delays.

Common document mistakes

• Receiving only a partial test report

• Using expired reports for a new order

• Changing paint, wood, or packaging without retesting

• Missing CPC or tracking labels for the US

• Labels that do not match the actual product or age grade

If anything changes in the product or packaging, ask whether new testing is needed.
