Who needs this
Selling into Europe? One of these is you.
You sell direct to EU consumers
EU law requires consumer products to carry the name and address of a responsible economic operator established in the EU. Without one in place, you can't legally sell to consumers in the EU. Appointing an Authorized Representative is how non-EU manufacturers meet that requirement.
See how the service worksYou sell through EU dealers
Without an Authorized Representative, each of your dealers must take on an importer's obligations — their name on your product, your Declaration of Conformity on their files, technical documents handed to authorities on request. One mandate with us lifts that burden from your whole dealer network.
Check your readinessYou import or rebrand products
Sell someone else's product under your own name or trademark and EU law treats you as the manufacturer — with a manufacturer's obligations. Not sure which role you're in? We'll help you work it out, and what to do next.
