What you will learn

  • Ensure compliance with the EU’s strict General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) by December 2024 to prevent costly listing removals.
  • Appoint an authorized EU Responsible Person to legally represent your non-EU business in all product safety and market surveillance matters.
  • Update your product listings thoroughly to include safety warnings, traceability identifiers, and the manufacturer’s direct contact details.
  • Conduct mandatory internal risk assessments and prepare comprehensive technical documentation proving your products are safe.
  • Recognize that the GPSR applies equally to new, used, and digital non-food items, particularly those presenting cybersecurity risks.

The upcoming GPSR will improve the EU’s existing market surveillance regulations and replace the General Product Safety Directive.

The new product safety regulations will have major implications for non-EU online sellers and online marketplaces like Amazon.

Here’s what you need to know about GPSR if you’re selling products manufactured outside the EU on European markets online.
