The CRA creates a verification chain. Article 19.2 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 lists what EU importers must verify before placing a product on the market: (a) conformity assessment performed, (b) technical documentation drawn up, (c) CE marking affixed and accompanied by the declaration of conformity and Annex II user information, (d) manufacturer has complied with Art. 13.15, 13.16 and 13.19. If your Chinese supplier cannot demonstrate these, you cannot import. CRACheck enables your supplier to generate 8 PDF documents per Annex VII in 15-25 minutes for €149 per product.

Article 19.2(b) explicitly requires the importer to ensure that "the manufacturer has drawn up the technical documentation." Checking CE marking on the packaging is not sufficient. You must verify the existence of Annex VII documentation. Request it from your supplier.
Article 19.7 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 states that where an importer considers or has reason to believe that a product is not in conformity, the importer shall not place the product on the market until it has been brought into conformity. Importers who knowingly place non-compliant products face their own enforcement under Art. 64.3.
If you place the product on the EU market, you are the importer under Art. 3(14). Importers have independent obligations under Art. 19 — regardless of what the supplier handles. Your name and contact address must appear on the product under Art. 19.4. You are identifiable and enforceable.
As an EU importer, you verify documentation — you do not produce it. But you need to know what to verify. CRACheck generates these 8 documents at your supplier's end.

Article 64 establishes three tiers of administrative fines. Penalties are calculated per undertaking — but non-compliance on a single product can trigger inspection of your entire portfolio.
Art. 64.2. Up to €15 million or 2.5% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher.
Art. 64.3. Up to €10 million or 2% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. Includes failure to produce Annex VII documentation.
Art. 64.4. Up to €5 million or 1% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher.
Art. 64.5 accounts for the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement, and gives consideration to microenterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, including start-ups.
