C2CPII program fees

Provide the information needed to estimate C2CPII program fees. Final annual-fee treatment is confirmed during application review.

Select an option.
Why we ask

The C2CPII annual fee is company-level rather than a fee for each certified product. An applicant may therefore be related to an organization or brand that already participates in the C2C Certified program.

  • Select Yes if the applicant is part of a corporate group or brand family in which another organization or brand already holds an active C2C certification or Listed Facility.
  • Select No if there is no such relationship. We will then ask for the applicable annual revenue tier to estimate the annual fee.
  • Select Not sure if you do not know. C2CPII will confirm the applicable treatment during application review.

C2CPII determines whether an existing company-group relationship results in annual-fee coverage. You do not need to determine that yourself.

Select the annual revenue tier.
