GPSR Compliance for Dropshippers
GPSR Compliance for Dropshippers
New EU regulations hold sellers accountable for product safety. As of December 13, 2024, all non-food consumer products sold in the EU must comply with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). Even if you don’t handle inventory, you are responsible for safety, labeling, and compliance.
Many dropshippers source from non-EU suppliers who are unfamiliar with EU laws, putting sellers at risk of product removals, legal penalties, and account suspensions on platforms.
What You Must Do
If you sell products from outside the EU, you are legally required to:
- Ensure products meet EU safety standards.
- Appoint an EU Authorised Representative for compliance.
- Label products with manufacturer and traceability details.
- Provide safety information and documentation.
- If you have an own online shop, you must register it at the Safety Gate Portal.
