๐ฌ Your product can be 100% legalโฆ and still be illegal to sell in the UK.
It can sell perfectly well in 3 other markets, land in the UKโฆ and suddenly get pulled from sale.
Nothing may be wrong with the product.
The compliance behind it simply wasnโt built for the UK.
And that gets expensive fast.
The UK is the worldโs 3rd-largest e-commerce market, with 27.4% of retail spending happening online.
But compliance problems often show up after your stock has landed:
โข Suppressed listings
โข Withdrawal notices
โข Recalls
โข Unsellable inventory
Four areas cause most of the headaches:
โข UK Responsible Person โ where required
โข UKCA/CE + technical documentation
โข Packaging EPR, WEEE & batteries
โข Compliant English safety warnings & instructions
The problem?
These usually fall somewhere between your accountant, agency and freight forwarder.
Until enforcement finds them. ๐
