Certifier's attestation
16 CFR 1110.11(a)(7)
Provide the finished product certifier's attestation. For eFiled certificates required in § 1110.13(a)(1), attestations are included in the Product Registry and in CPSC's Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set CBP and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR) Implementation Guide (including revisions thereto). Paper and electronic finished product certificates described in § 1110.9(b) and (c), and required in §§ 1110.13(a)(2), (b), and (c), must include the following attestation by the finished product certifier: I hereby certify that the finished product(s) covered by this certificate comply with the rules, bans, standards, and regulations stated herein, and that the information in this certificate is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. I understand and acknowledge that it is a United States federal crime to knowingly and willfully make any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement, representation, or omission on this certificate.
What has to be present
- The attestation, in the wording the paragraph sets out
This requirement did not exist before 8 July 2026. For an eFiled certificate the attestation is carried by the Product Registry and the CATAIR message set. For a paper or electronic certificate the rule prescribes the words, so they have to appear as written rather than paraphrased.
What the shape looks like
Illustrative constructions, written to show what the regulation asks for. They are not quotations from real certificates.
Satisfies the element
I hereby certify that the finished product(s) covered by this certificate comply with the rules, bans, standards, and regulations stated herein, and that the information in this certificate is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. I understand and acknowledge that it is a United States federal crime to knowingly and willfully make any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement, representation, or omission on this certificate.
Falls short
We confirm the above is correct.
The paragraph sets out the wording, including the acknowledgement that a knowing false statement on the certificate is a federal crime. A summary in other words is not that attestation.
