Regulations
CE marking
When importing from non-EU countries, many products sold must comply with one or more EU directives. CE marking is a conformity mark certifying that the item meets all applicable EC directives for the product. Some directives regulate substances, others energy efficiency and electrical safety.
Selling non-compliant goods in the European Union is illegal and can lead to seizure of the products and severe penalties, assuming the goods get through customs in the first place.
