What certifications do smartwatches from China need for USA import?

A

Expert Answer

For importing smartwatches to the USA, required certifications include: FCC Part 15, UL, RoHS, CE, FDA (if health claims), IP rating. Additional requirements: 1) FCC Part 15 for any RF/wireless functionality, 2) UL or ETL safety certification for electrical products, 3) RoHS compliance for hazardous substance restriction, 4) Prop 65 compliance if selling in California, 5) Correct HS Code classification (8517.62) for duty calculation. Always request test reports and verify certificate authenticity directly with labs (SGS, TÜV, Intertek). Fake certificates are common—verification is essential. Sourxera only works with factories that have verified, authentic certifications.
