If you want to sell certain products in EU countries which were manufactured outside the EU, you must have an authorized representative in the EU (an EU Rep) to support the import process. This includes helping you understand the requirements of your destination market, reviewing product compliance and labelling, holding your technical documentation and declarations of conformity, and cooperating with authorities on your behalf.
Your authorized representative can be your company's EU branch, if you have one, or you can designate an importer or distributor as your representative. Either way, their focus is to get your products to your destination market quickly and might not be able to prioritize authorized representative tasks. Alternately, you can partner with an experienced and dedicated third-party service that can help you establish your products on the EU market while maintaining manufacturing and labeling compliance long-term. QIMA's rich industry experience and a full team of experts can help.
As a leading service provider in the industry for EU markets, QIMA keeps up with the current state of regulations and can help you keep up, too. According to EU directives, the following types of products must meet specific compliance, labelling and documentation standards and have an authorized representative in the EU.
For individuals who are using Amazon, eBay or their own online stores to sell in the EU products that are manufactured outside the EU, it is important that they too have an EU Authorized Representative to help them import their goods into the region.
