With the formal implementation of the EU GPSR approaching on December 13, 2024, uploading European Representative (EU) information, manufacturer details, and compliant warning labels and compliance documents has become a priority for compliant Amazon sellers. So, on the labeling of goods, what are the specific rules and requirements?
According to the Amazon announcement, seller tags need to contain the following information:
1. Contact details of the responsible person and the manufacturer (name, postal address, e-mail/URL)
2. Commodity safety and warning information, which includes CE marking, energy labeling, and toy safety warnings and chemical hazard warnings (in the language of the country of sale)
3. at least one product type, lot, serial number, or other information that allows for product identification
In view of the variety of product types, Amazon can not provide specific examples. Here K has made reference to relevant regulations and industry standards to provide sellers with labeling reference templates.
