NASA [nasa.gov] links to the American Astronomical Society [aas.org] for a list of North American solar film manufacturers that were approved to ISO 12312-2 and also for approved vendors of those solar filters.
"These include companies and organizations with which members of the AAS Solar Eclipse Task Force have had good experience as well as other companies and organizations that have demonstrated to our satisfaction that the products they're selling meet the safety requirements of the ISO 12312-2 international standard."
[Note: NASA and AAS both do not directly approve or certify any solar filter themselves. And as such there is no official NASA or AAS preferred solar filter. ISO certification from an American company is gonna be as good as you can get here.]
Daystar Filters, the filters sold on this B&H deal, are on the list of North American Manufacturers on the AAS website. And B&H is on the list of Authorized Dealers of Products Made in North America or Germany. 👍👍

So the question for you is - is it worth risking your permanent vision quality to save $5 from some random Amazon 3rd-party seller? Personally, I'd stick with B&H.
Welding glass/helmet/goggles works as well.
