Customs brokerage firms and trade compliance services handling importers of consumer products from third countries — furniture, textiles, toys, electronics, household goods, fashion accessories. Regulation (EU) 2023/988 requires that every consumer product placed on the EU market has technical documentation demonstrating safety (Article 9(2)), a responsible person established in the Union (Article 16), and product identification enabling traceability (Article 9(5)). Goods arriving without this documentation face market surveillance action and customs holds. GPSRCheck Professional Pack: 70 licenses, €999 one payment. 8 PDF documents per product.

Every consumer product entering the EU from a third country must comply with the General Product Safety Regulation before release for free circulation. Most importers — especially those shipping furniture, textiles, toys, and household goods — arrive without structured technical documentation. The customs broker or trade compliance firm that offers GPSR documentation as a service captures recurring revenue on every shipment.
The GPSRCheck Professional Pack is built for professionals who handle — or intend to handle — GPSR technical documentation for multiple importers of consumer products into the EU.
Three inputs. Four answers. No signup required.
Each license generates a complete GPSR technical documentation package. Every document references the specific article of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 it covers. The importer does not need to access the tool — the professional enters the data and delivers the finished package.
Systematic evaluation against Article 6 criteria: product characteristics, foreseeable use, categories of consumers, vulnerable users, cybersecurity features where relevant.
General description of the product and its essential characteristics relevant for assessing safety. Internal risk analysis structure and methodology.
Analysis of possible risks and the solutions adopted to eliminate or mitigate them. Article 9(2)(a). European standards applied, if any (Article 7).
Type, batch or serial number (Article 9(5)). Manufacturer name, trade name, postal and electronic address (Article 9(6)). Responsible person details (Article 16).
Clear instructions and safety information in the language determined by the Member State. Article 9(7). Warnings, age suitability, disposal guidance.
Article 16 compliance. Economic operator established in the Union responsible for the product. Contact details, regular compliance checks, documented evidence.
Article 19 compliance for products sold online or through distance channels. Manufacturer identification, responsible person, product identification with picture, warnings.

Regulation (EU) 2023/988 applies from 13 December 2024. Products from third countries must comply before release for free circulation (recital 61). If an importer's goods are flagged by market surveillance and there is no technical documentation per Article 9(2), the product faces withdrawal or recall — and the customs broker who cleared it without flagging the gap loses the client's trust and future business.
Many importers provide a generic "CE declaration" or a supplier letter stating the product is safe. Article 9(2) requires an internal risk analysis, a general description of the product and its essential characteristics, and — where risks are identified — an analysis of those risks and the technical solutions adopted. A one-page declaration does not meet this requirement. The customs firm that accepts it creates a false sense of compliance.
Most importers of consumer products from third countries do not have in-house regulatory expertise. They rely on their customs broker or trade compliance partner for guidance. The firm that only verifies existing documentation charges €80–€120 per check. The firm that generates the documentation charges €300–€500 per product — and becomes the importer's compliance partner, not just a clearance intermediary.
8 PDF documents per product. Product safety assessment, internal risk analysis, manufacturer and responsible person identification, instructions and safety information, distance sales compliance, accident notification template. Generated from the data entered in 20 minutes. Article-by-article traceability to Regulation (EU) 2023/988.
Laboratory testing for chemical substances, mechanical safety testing, flammability testing, electrical safety assessment, on-site factory audits, physical product inspection at the port. These are implementation services. GPSRCheck documents the safety assessment — it does not perform the physical verification.
GPSRCheck structures and documents. The customs professional advises and coordinates. The two layers complement each other — and together form a complete import compliance service.
Consequences under Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. This is the argument for the conversation with the importer who asks whether GPSR documentation is really necessary.
Article 23, referencing Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. Market surveillance authorities can order withdrawal, recall, or destruction of non-compliant products.
Recitals 61–62. Products from third countries must comply with the General Product Safety Regulation before customs clearance. Chapter VII of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 applies to controls on products entering the Union market.
Article 44(2). Each Member State defines its own penalty framework. By 13 December 2024, all Member States notified the Commission of their penalty rules.
Your importers face these consequences. You offer them the documentation that prevents them — and build a recurring service on the obligation.

GPSRCheck generates a structured documentation package according to Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 from the information the user enters. The accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of that information is the responsibility of the manufacturer — or of the professional who enters data on their behalf.
We guarantee that the document structure follows Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and that the legal references cited are correct as of the last verification date. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a market surveillance authority or by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.
