§5.2 Controls on products entering the EU market

COMMISSION NOTICE Guidelines for economic operators and market surveillance authorities on the practical implementation of Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance and compliance of products · European Union

Border authorities have a duty to control products entering the EU. They do so on the basis of risk analysis. When they perform physical checks on products covered by Article 4, it is recommended that they verify whether the name and contact details of the economic operator referred to in Article 4 are indicated on the product, the packaging, the parcel or any accompanying document (Article 4(4) of the Regulation). If this is not the case or they have cause to believe that for another reason the product does not comply with Article 4 (47), they should suspend the release for free circulation, notify the market surveillance authorities (Article 26 of the Regulation) and await their reaction.
