I didn't realize that product compliance is so important! If you want to open a store on Amazon to start cross-border sales, we have already discussed the series of product evaluation before opening a store, including the selection of products, profit calculation and other key steps. However, the next step, product compliance, is the aspect that many Taiwanese sellers are most likely to overlook. In this article, we will bring you an in-depth understanding of how to ensure product safety to meet the compliance requirements of major selling countries.
First of all, we must understand the importance of commodity safety. It is not only a legal requirement, but also a basic prerequisite for protecting consumers' rights and interests. Different stations will formulate strict auditing standards for different categories of products according to the laws and regulations of the destination countries to ensure product safety through both legal regulations and technical guarantees.
Even more worrying is the fact that many cross-border entrepreneurs have a poor understanding of the definition of "product safety": it refers to conditions that do not cause death, injury, or occupational disease, damage to equipment, property, or harm to the environment. In short, a safe product must be free from unacceptable risks and eliminate factors that could lead to injury or loss.
In accordance with the policies and standards of different countries, Amazon requires products to pass safety audits and obtain certificates and reports before they can be placed on the shelves. This process may seem tedious, but it is crucial to the long-term development of the brand.
Next, I will introduce the product compliance requirements of the three major Amazon sites in detail. The U.S. site mainly needs to pay attention to CPSC, FCC, FDA and other certifications; the European site needs CE, ROHS, WEEE and other certifications; the Japanese site should pay attention to PSE, ST and other certifications. These certifications are different processes, but they are necessary to enter the corresponding markets.
For example, in the U.S., if you sell children's products, you must obtain CPC certification; selling electrical products, you need FCC certification; and food, medical products need FDA certification. Each certification has its own specific scope of application and application process.
What's really amazing is that Amazon officially provides a powerful tool - CKP Compliance Reference - to help sellers understand multi-national compliance requirements in one stop. This tool has three major advantages: one-stop presentation of multiple types of compliance policies, no need to jump to register to see the requirements of multiple countries, easy to operate and can be used directly on the seller platform.
For new sellers looking for a suitable import and export compliance service provider, Amazon has partnered with a number of third-party service providers in Taiwan to provide professional compliance services. You can find a suitable partner in Amazon's list of third-party service providers.
