Rules for selling sports equipment, fitness gear, camping supplies, and outdoor recreation products.

Protective gear (helmets, pads) must meet CPSC or ASTM safety standardsHunting and archery equipment may have platform restrictionsFitness equipment electrical components need safety certification

What this covers

Protective sports gear — helmets, pads, and impact protection — must meet CPSC or ASTM safety standards, and listing performance specs (impact rating, protection level) that the product doesn't actually meet is both a false claim and a safety violation. Hunting, archery, and related products have platform-level restrictions that are separate from legal sale eligibility; confirm category approval before listing even if the product is legal in your market. Fitness equipment with electrical components (treadmills, e-bikes, rowing machines) must carry appropriate safety certification.
