GPSR applies to all products circulating in the EU market, whether they are produced by the EU or third-party countries. EU site sellers need to ensure that the products they sell comply with European safety standards and provide necessary certification.

To comply with GPSR, EU site sellers need to understand the EU’s requirements and standards for product safety. The EU has different safety standards for different types of products. For example, for toys, the EU requires that toys cannot contain harmful chemicals, cannot pose a choking hazard, and cannot produce electromagnetic radiation, etc. For electronic products, the EU requires that electronic products cannot emit electromagnetic radiation and need to be certified by CE, etc.

European sellers on Amazon need to provide CE certification for their products to ensure product quality and safety in accordance with EU safety standards. CE certification is a mark regulated by the European Commission to demonstrate that products comply with EU legal requirements. Products without CE certification cannot be sold in the EU market.

In addition, European sellers on Amazon must ensure that the information on their product labels is accurate, including product name, model, production date, instructions for use, etc. If the information on the label is inaccurate or misleading to consumers, it may violate European false advertising regulations, resulting in fines or court proceedings.
