The first step to selling in the EU: Compliance

Is Your Product Compliant for Europe?
Not Every Product Can Enter.

Products that fail to meet CE, REACH, CPNP, or labeling requirements cannot enter the market. Grexon verifies compliance, manages registrations and certifications, and ensures a legal and safe market entry.

To access the EU market, your product must technically comply with the relevant directives and regulations.

Unlock the European Market for Your Product

Not every product can enter the EU. The initial screening begins with three key questions:

  • Which EU Directives/Regulations apply to your product?
  • Are the required tests, certificates, and technical file ready?
  • Are labels/language, safety warnings, and instructions compliant?
Grexon performs a product-specific compliance pre-check and delivers a clear list of missing items.
Restricted products visual
Products containing banned substances or non-compliant labels can trigger sales suspension on platforms.

Products Banned or Restricted in Europe

Platforms like Amazon or Shopify will suspend or remove listings in case of compliance violations.

High-Risk Categories

  • Cosmetics or cleaning products with hazardous chemicals (REACH/CLP violations)
  • Flammable/aerosol products lacking MSDS or correct labeling
  • Electronics without CE/EMC/LVD or RoHS compliance
  • Incorrect warning pictograms or missing local language
Request a “compliance & restriction scan” before listing — avoid unnecessary takedowns.
EU sales requirements visual
EORI, EU Representative, test reports, and local-language labeling are essential foundations.

Fundamentals Required to Sell in Europe

  • EORI number and customs documentation
  • EU Representative (for relevant product categories)
  • Compliance assessment, test reports, and certifications
  • Local-language labeling and safety instructions
1. Product classification & legislation mapping
2. Test/certification planning & lab coordination
3. Technical file & label/instruction validation
4. Customs/EORI & platform verification
CPNP registration visual
For cosmetics, CPNP registration is mandatory before sale.

What is CPNP and How Does It Work?

For cosmetic products, CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) registration is mandatory. Without registration, sales in the EU are prohibited.

Key Requirements

  • Product Information File (PIF), ingredient list, and CPSR
  • Label/packaging checks (language, warnings, INCI)
  • Appointment of a Responsible Person (RP)
Grexon manages the entire process: documentation, Responsible Person assignment, and CPNP submission.
Certificates and documentation visual
Each product group has specific documentation needs — identify the right map before proceeding.

Essential Documents and Certificates for Europe

The EU market demands quality and safety. Depending on the product type, the following documents are commonly required:

  • CE Compliance (DoC, technical file, test reports)
  • REACH/CLP conformity and MSDS safety data sheets
  • CPNP (cosmetics), RoHS/WEEE (electronics)
  • Packaging/VerpackG registration and local-language labeling
“Right document, right product, right market.” Incorrect paperwork costs time and money.
