Unlocking EU Market Access: Why Non-EU Manufacturers Need an Authorized Representative
Ensure seamless EU market access for non-EU manufacturers with Representa GmbH as your Authorized Representative and GPSR compliance partner.
The EU is one of the world’s largest markets, offering immense opportunities for non-EU manufacturers. However, selling products in Europe requires more than shipping goods—it requires compliance with strict regulations. The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR – EU 2023/988), effective December 13, 2024, sets higher standards for product safety, traceability, and cross-border e-commerce.
A key requirement for non-EU manufacturers is appointing an EU Authorized Representative (AR). This legal entity or individual acts on your behalf to ensure compliance, manage documentation, liaise with authorities, and handle recalls.
Why an Authorized Representative Matters
Without an AR, your products risk:
Blocked market access at customs
Heavy fines or legal penalties
Product recalls or permanent bans
Reputational damage and loss of trust
The AR acts as a bridge between your business and EU regulators, ensuring your products meet all safety, health, and environmental standards.
The Risks of Choosing the Wrong AR
Selecting a low-cost or passive AR can lead to:
Delayed communications with authorities
Lack of proactive compliance monitoring
Increased risk of recalls or market restrictions
A proactive AR is crucial to prevent costly disruptions and protect your brand reputation.
