THE COMPANY THAT IS PHYSICALLY MANUFACTURING THE PRODUCTS IS THE MANUFACTURER.
Even if you own the design rights, copyrights, etc. of a product and contract another company to manufacturer your product(s) for you, under these tagging laws for stuffed articles, your company is NOT the manufacturer.
All furniture and bedding manufacturers are required to register with every state their products will be sold in. Even manufacturers selling to and through other channels (not selling to U.S. customers directly), must have the appropriate licenses. Once manufacturers register, they will receive a URN that allows their products to be sold to any company in the U.S. The manufacturer is responsible to renew each of their licenses before they expire. 14 states currently require manufacturer registration. Depending on the types of products, registration may not be needed in all 14. Global Registration Services seeks to help manufacturers navigate the registration process for each state.
