EU Regulation 2023/988, the General Product Safety Regulation, has been in force since 13 December 2024. Every non-EU business selling physical consumer products into the EU must appoint an EU-established Responsible Person. CiDATax fills that role with technical-documentation depth.
Without an EU-established Responsible Person, your consumer products cannot legally enter the EU market. Marketplaces are actively verifying. Customs authorities are detaining shipments. CiDATax acts as your Responsible Person and runs the full lifecycle.
The Responsible Person is the EU-established legal entity required for every consumer product sold into the EU under Regulation (EU) 2023/988. Their name, address and contact must appear on the product or its packaging.
Their statutory duties under Article 4 include: verifying technical documentation exists, keeping the EU Declaration of Conformity on file, cooperating with market surveillance authorities, and informing authorities of non-conformity within 24 hours of discovery.
CiDATax assumes this role end-to-end. We are EU-established (Milano), we maintain a register of every product we represent, we hold the technical files, and we respond to market surveillance correspondence on your behalf.
Statutory references per EUR-Lex Regulation (EU) 2023/988.We inventory your EU-bound SKUs, categorise them under harmonised standards (EN, ETSI, EU directives), and identify gaps in technical documentation.
CiDATax is formally appointed as your EU Responsible Person under Art. 4. Our name, Milano address and contact appear on your product or packaging.
Technical documentation review, EU Declaration of Conformity drafting, retention of files for 10 years under Art. 9. Updated when products change.
We monitor Safety Gate notifications, respond to market surveillance correspondence, manage 24-hour reporting, and update your listings on Amazon and other marketplaces.
Amazon, eBay, Cdiscount and others auto-delist products lacking a valid EU Responsible Person. Detection takes hours, reversal takes weeks.
Member-state customs can detain shipments where Responsible Person details are absent or unverifiable. Storage costs and demurrage accrue daily.
National sanctions vary by member state, but reputational damage from a forced recall lasts longer than any fine.
