What safety certifications (ASTM, EN71, CPSIA) are required for importing custom plush toys?

Importing custom plush toys requires a product-specific compliance plan rather than one universal certificate. U.S. children’s plush commonly need applicable ASTM F963 testing, CPSIA compliance, a CPC and tracking records. EU toys require relevant EN 71 evidence, technical documentation, an EC Declaration of Conformity and CE marking. The final test sample, bulk materials, labels and shipment records must all match the same controlled product version.

How to Design School Mascot Plush Toys for Students

A successful school mascot plush should look familiar before students notice the logo. The best results come from defining age, use, size, pose, materials, school colors, branding, labels, packaging, and delivery needs before sampling. A physical sample then confirms facial expression, proportions, filling, embroidery, safety details, and packing so the final plush can remain recognizable, practical, and consistent across the full order for campus stores, events, welcome kits, and graduation.
