EARP — EU Readiness Check
How ready are you to sell in the EU?
Which rules apply, your documentation, your EU representative, your labeling, and how you handle incidents. We will show you where you stand and what to do first.
Products We Represent Across the EU
From consumer electronics to child safety products, we provide independent EU Authorized Representation services.
Prepare Today, Protect Tomorrow
The GPSR imposes new responsibilities on companies and their products. This Regulation together with the Market Surveillance Regulation cover a wide range of products. Compliance to both regulations is required and being enforced today!
Do not wait to select your Responsible Person as non-compliance to these regulations can trigger significant fines, cease selling, or can even lead to removal from the European market. It’s our goal to prevent that from happening.
Amazon and Online Marketplace Sellers
Whether you sell your product via distributors or conduct distance selling to EU based consumers, you must select and designate a Responsible Person for your products as required by the GPSR if you do not have a place of business in the EU.
If you use online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay for your e-commerce in the EU, they will not allow you to use their platform without having a Responsible Person in place. That’s where we come in.

Avoid Compliance Headaches
The Regulation (EU) 2023/988 – General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) requires you to select and designate an EU-based Responsible Person if you sell your products in Europe. Whether you are using Amazon, distributors, a fulfillment center or you are selling directly to end users, the European Authorized Representative is the best suited Economic Operator to be designated as the Responsible Person as defined under the GPSR, which is mandatory as of December 13, 2024. It is a headache. That’s why we are here for you.
Why EARP?

- Keep your confidential design information and technical specs private.
- Avoid reprinting labels and manuals if you swap importers/distributors.
- No conflict of interest to worry about.
- Distributors often don’t know how to promptly address a recall or accident.
