The name and contact details of the economic operator referred to in Article 4 have to be present when the product is declared for free circulation at customs (as confirmed by Article 26(1)(d) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020). Therefore, in case the product is aimed for release for free circulation in the EU and no further processing on the product is foreseen after its shipment (167), economic operators outside the EU offering products for sale should make sure that the required information on the economic operator referred to in Article 4 is indicated in the way described above, adding them (or having them added) prior to shipping if necessary. It is possible that there are multiple economic operators’ names and contact details indicated on or with the product. While there may be no explicit requirement that these be preceded by ‘manufactured by’, ‘imported by’, ‘represented by’ or ‘fulfilled by’, the information should not mislead the market surveillance authorities.
