Amazon FBA – you need to confirm your ‘Responsible Person’ for CE-marked products by June 11, 2021

As a reminder, if you sell CE-marked products 5 into the Eeuropean Union / European Economic Area that are manufactured outside of the EU/EEA, begining June 11, 2021 the “Market Surveillance Regulation (EU) 2019/1020” requires you to identify a point of contact for product compliance which is based in the EU/EEA (so called a “Responsible Person”).

You must notify both Amazon and government body of the Responsible Person for your CE-marked products through the Responsible Person Dashboard 15 by June 11, 2021 unless you want to risk your Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) inbound shipment blocked into the EU/EEA.

Amazon may provide you with a list of vetted service providers 9 who could act as a Responsible Person for your products. Registered Brand Owners or Authorized Resellers are eligible for the Amazon Responsible Person (ARP) service 8, through which Amazon acts as a Responsible Person for your FBA products.
