Did you know that many compliance errors are repeated in most stores?

You don’t need to be an expert to spot them: with a clear list, you can move forward confidently and without complications.

1. Prepare your documentation before launching

Before uploading your product to Amazon or your e-commerce site, make sure you have your Declaration of Conformity and basic technical documentation ready. This will allow you to move forward without any interruptions later on.

2. Check your labels and CE marking

The label is your calling card. Make sure it includes:

  • CE marking (if applicable)

  • Manufacturer or importer details

  • Necessary warnings (e.g., minimum age or safety warnings)

3. Validate your provider’s certificates

Not all documents you receive are sufficient for Europe. Always check that the certificates are correct and, if you have any doubts, request an independent verification.

4. Identify the regulations that apply to your product

Each category has its own specific regulations: toys, electrical goods, PPE, etc. Before selling, take a moment to confirm which ones apply to your case.

Regulatory compliance is not just an initial step. A quick periodic review of your labels, documents, and applicable regulations ensures that everything remains up to date.
