AliExpress has recently announced a new initiative to strengthen the qualification control of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) being sold in the United States. This move aims to ensure that all ATVs sold through the platform comply with U.S. laws and regulations, as well as AliExpress’s own prohibition and restriction rules. The goal is to protect consumer safety, uphold legal standards, and secure the rights and interests of platform users.
Scope of Product Control:
The new regulations apply to the following categories:
- Automobile and motorcycle parts
- Motorcycle accessories
- All-terrain vehicles (ATVs)
Qualification Requirements / AliExpress All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV):
- EPA Certificate of Compliance:
- All ATVs must obtain certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This certificate verifies that the vehicle’s engine emissions comply with U.S. environmental standards.
- GCC Certificate:
- A General Certificate of Compliance (GCC) is required, as mandated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The applicable standard for ATVs is outlined in 16 CFR §. part 1420 and ANSI/SVIA 1-2017.
- ATV Action Plan:
- Manufacturers or dealers must submit an “ATV Action Plan” to the CPSC and receive approval. The company must also be listed among the approved companies by the CPSC.
- Labeling Requirements:
- ATVs must be appropriately labeled to indicate compliance with the ATV Action Plan, including the name of the manufacturer, importer, or private label owner, and the specific ATV Action Plan they adhere to.
Control Measures:
AliExpress will block the sale of all-terrain vehicles in the United States that do not meet these qualification requirements. Sellers are urged to comply with these standards and update their product listings to ensure smooth transactions in the U.S. market.
This new measure by AliExpress is a significant step towards ensuring that products sold on the platform meet stringent safety and compliance standards, protecting both consumers and sellers. As the platform prepares for an anticipated increase in ATV sales in the U.S., these regulations will help maintain a safe and reliable shopping experience for all.
What does this mean for buyers?
While these changes may result in fewer ATV listings on AliExpress, it ultimately benefits consumers by ensuring that the products they purchase are safe and compliant with US regulations. Buyers can have greater confidence in the quality and safety of ATVs purchased through the platform.
AliExpress’s proactive approach to product safety sets a positive precedent for other online marketplaces and highlights the platform’s dedication to consumer protection.
