The sequence Amazon runs on a flagged listing
The Amazon DE enforcement sequence in 2025–2026 has become predictable. The flag arrives without warning. Seller Central moves the ASIN to Inactive status under Account Health → Regulatory Compliance. The rejection reason reads some variant of “Product detail page was removed because required GPSR documentation is not on file”. A Submit compliance information button appears next to the flagged ASIN. The form asks for three categories of document: the Article 9 internal risk analysis, the EU Declaration of Conformity, and the manufacturer traceability data for the product label.
Many sellers try to resolve the flag by submitting photographs of the existing product packaging, CE marking declarations from older compliance dossiers, or REACH certificates from chemical testing. These are rejected every time. The GPSR Article 9 risk analysis is a specific document format that does not exist in CE, REACH, RoHS or any of the sector-specific directives. It must be produced as its own instrument.
GPSRCheck generates exactly the three documents Amazon Seller Central asks for, in the right format, in one PDF, in 10 minutes.

The technical file and the EU Responsible Person: two separate things
The GPSR has two distinct compliance layers for non-EU sellers, and vendors in this market often bundle them into one expensive annual contract. They don’t have to be bundled.
The technical file
The documented internal risk analysis, the EU Declaration of Conformity, the product label with traceability data. This is the document Amazon Seller Central asks you to upload. GPSRCheck generates it in 10 minutes for €49 per product. One license per SKU. The PDF you download is yours permanently and does not expire. The license lets you regenerate the file up to 10 times within 30 days from first activation to correct details.
The EU Responsible Person
A separate legal requirement: every non-EU manufacturer must appoint an economic operator established in the EU as the regulatory contact point. This is a service, not a document — typically €150 to €300 per year. You can combine our technical file with any EU Responsible Person provider. The PDF you download is yours to keep and is not tied to any Responsible Person contract.
The industry standard among competitors is to bundle both layers into a single annual subscription of €199 to €2,000. We decouple the two on purpose: you own the document, you pick the Responsible Person separately, and if you ever change provider, your files travel with you.
Enforcement reality — the timeline that built this market
Amazon started suspending EU listings without a valid EU Responsible Person — eight months before the GPSR’s official entry into force. Amazon moved ahead of the regulator.
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 entered into force across all 27 EU member states plus Northern Ireland. Every non-food consumer product placed on the EU market must now have a documented Article 9 internal risk analysis and an EU Responsible Person under Article 16.
Member states are implementing national penalty regimes. Fines typically reach up to €100,000 per infraction. Germany additionally imposes criminal penalties of up to one year of imprisonment for persistent infringements. France allows proportional fines up to 10% of annual turnover. Italy, Spain, Netherlands and Poland have enacted comparable ranges.
The EU’s public database of dangerous products (formerly RAPEX). Products flagged as non-compliant are listed publicly, by brand and model. Inclusion in Safety Gate is permanent and searchable — the reputational damage outlasts any fine.
Customs authorities may detain shipments without valid GPSR documentation. The cargo sits in port warehousing, accruing daily storage costs, until documentation is produced or the shipment is returned at the manufacturer’s expense.
