WTDC donates 2905 gallons of water to His House Children’s Home
WTDC is proud to support our community in preparation for hurricane season. Last week we delivered 2905 gallons of bottled water to His House Children’s Home as part of our 4th Annual Water Drive.
WTDC supports His House’s mission to provide every child with a safe, loving, and nurturing home. His House’s 232 bed campus in Miami Gardens provides residential care and support services for abused, abandoned, and neglected children. His House also trains and works closely with foster families, providing another avenue for children to find a safe home.
A special thank you to Ginger Diez, WTDC General Manager, for leading this incredible effort, and to our employees, families, customers, and vendors whose generosity made it possible. Together, we’re making a difference!

The White House: STRENGTHENING CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT
CPSC eFiling requirement
Importers of consumer products should prepare for a significant regulatory change coming this summer. Beginning July 8, 2026, new U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) eFiling requirements for certificate information on regulated imported consumer products will officially take effect for most imports entering the United States.
While the July 8, 2026 deadline applies to most imported consumer products, the CPSC has provided additional time for products imported into a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) and subsequently entered for consumption or warehousing. Requirements affecting those products will become effective on January 8, 2027.
The implementation date stems from a Final Rule approved by the Commission on December 18, 2024, establishing mandatory electronic filing (eFiling) of certificate data for regulated imported consumer products.
The Final Rule is designed to modernize import compliance processes by requiring certificate information to be submitted electronically, enhancing the agency’s ability to identify and prevent non-compliant consumer products from entering U.S. commerce.
The eFiling initiative represents a major step in the CPSC’s ongoing efforts to strengthen import surveillance, improve supply chain transparency, and enhance consumer product safety.
