Pokemon Cards / CPSC Requirements? | Selling

So I was posting a listing for a Pokemon card yesterday and noticed when I got to the end of the listing it was asking for a Children's Certificate of Conformity as a normal toy would.. I can however find no information online pertaining to if pokemon cards (or TCG cards in general) fall under the CPSC need to provide a Children's Certificate of Conformity.. moreover I started trying to look for some of these Certificates online at any of the large manufacturers and only LEGO from what I can tell has the documentation online. Was this added as eBay has TCG cards under the "toys" category and they just opened the Cert upload tab for everything in the category? At that point after reading that if the Cert was missing americans won't be able to buy it or it'll be hidden I was like "fine, americans won't see any of the few toys I have online".. but I do sell more then a few pokemon cards so that's kind of a concern.. especially for higher end cards. Also, has anyone seen if US customs is basing what to pull based on the HS codes specifically? if so then pokemon falls into code #9504.40.00.00Wondering for adult level collectables 14+ toys vs 3+ toys.. if US customs is just flagging lazy HS code users, the two codes (9503.00.00.73 vs 9503.00.00.90) would made the difference (73 for younger and 90 for 13+ )
