Cross-border e-commerce from China to the EU is under increasing regulatory pressure. The Digital Services Act, the General Product Safety Regulation and now the Cyber Resilience Act all create obligations for online marketplace operators. Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 requires online marketplaces to cooperate with market surveillance authorities and, upon order, to remove non-compliant products. AliExpress has already started requiring compliance documentation for certain product categories. Temu faces similar pressure from EU authorities. If you sell connected devices on these platforms, CRA documentation will be required. CRACheck generates 8 PDF documents per Annex VII. 15-25 minutes. €149 per product. Browser-side.

Article 2.1 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 covers products "made available on the market." When a European consumer buys a smart plug on AliExpress and receives it in Hamburg, the product has been made available on the EU market. The seller's location is irrelevant.
Article 25 obliges marketplace operators to cooperate with market surveillance authorities. EU authorities have already pressured AliExpress on product safety. The General Product Safety Regulation created precedent. CRA enforcement will follow the same pattern.
If you sell unbranded products, the entity that places them on the market is still identifiable through the store listing. If no manufacturer is identified, market surveillance authorities may hold the marketplace operator responsible under Art. 25. The marketplace may then enforce against you as the seller. Having CRA documentation resolves the compliance chain.
