How Does GPSR Affect Online Sellers?
If you sell non-food consumer products in the EU or Northern Ireland through platforms like Amazon, Temu, Shein, eBay, or your own e-commerce store, you must comply with the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) since December 13, 2024. This regulation replaces the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) and introduces stricter requirements to ensure product safety and traceability.
What Are the Key GPSR Requirements?
To comply with GPSR, businesses must:
- Appoint an EU Responsible Person: A designated entity within the EU must be responsible for product safety compliance.
- Provide Proper Labelling and Traceability: Products must include the manufacturer’s name, importer details (if applicable), and contact details of the Responsible Person.
- Assign a Type, Batch, or Serial Number: This helps track products and ensure safety recalls are managed efficiently.
- Include Safety Warnings and Instructions: These must be available in the official language of the country where the product is sold.
- Display Required Information in Online Listings: Marketplaces like Amazon, Temu, and Shein will require product listings to include Responsible Person details, manufacturer contact information, and product safety warnings.
How Does GPSR Affect Online Sellers?
Major online marketplaces such as Amazon, Temu, Shein, and eBay are implementing strict compliance policies to align with GPSR. Sellers who fail to meet these new requirements risk product delistings, account suspensions, and financial penalties.
If you sell on these platforms, it’s crucial to ensure your products are fully compliant before the deadline.
