Appointing an EU Responsible Person (EU RP) is mandatory if your business markets products in the European Union but lacks a physical presence within its borders. This requirement particularly affects cosmetics, toys, electronics, and general consumer goods.
What is an EU Responsible Person?
An EU Responsible Person acts as your company’s official point of compliance contact within the EU. This representative ensures your products adhere to relevant EU regulations, including CE marking, cosmetic safety regulations, and product liability directives.
Why is an EU RP Required?
Without an EU RP, non-EU businesses face the risk of products being blocked at customs or removed from marketplaces such as Amazon. Additionally, non-compliant companies may incur substantial fines and damage to brand reputation.
Benefits of Appointing an EU RP
- Compliance Assurance: Guarantees product adherence to EU safety and quality standards.
- Customs Facilitation: Simplifies import processes, reducing delays.
- Market Stability: Prevents sudden disruptions in sales due to non-compliance.
