If you buy from China and sell in Europe, check compliance before you ask for the final price.
CE, GPSR, RoHS, REACH, EU Responsible Person details, labels, manuals, and test reports can decide whether your shipment clears customs and stays live on Amazon, Allegro, eMAG, Kaufland, or Shopify.
A supplier may offer a product 20% cheaper, but that saving disappears fast if the product is missing a valid report, the label is wrong, or the platform asks for documents you do not have.
YoungSourcing helps sellers check these risks before paying a deposit. We review the product category, factory documents, packaging, labels, and marketplace requirements, then tell you what needs to be fixed before production or shipment.
Why this comes before price
| Risk area | If ignored | If checked early |
|---|---|---|
| CE | Listing blocked or customs issues | Correct documents prepared |
| GPSR | Missing traceability or EU contact details | Label and file checked before shipment |
| RoHS | Electrical products may fail review | Materials and reports verified |
| REACH | Chemical risk missed | Supplier documents reviewed |
| Platform files | Listing delayed | Upload package ready |
Pre-order checklist
- Confirm the product category and target countries.
- Check whether CE, GPSR, RoHS, REACH, food contact, battery, toy, or electrical rules apply.
- Ask for test reports, DoC, risk assessment, and technical files.
- Match every document to the real product model, photos, material, and supplier.
- Review packaging, warning labels, batch codes, and manufacturer details.
- Confirm whether an EU Responsible Person or authorised representative is needed.
- Check platform document requirements before the order is placed.
