Bottom line: when a marketplace or customs authority questions your compliance, response speed and document completeness decide whether your listing or shipment continues. Prepare the response pack before you are asked for it.
What They Typically Ask For
- Declaration of Conformity (EU) or Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (US FCC)
- Test report from an accredited laboratory, with scope covering your exact model
- Certificate where the scheme requires one (FCC ID, SRRC, scheme certificates)
- Authorized representative details (EU) and product label images
- Battery and transport documents (UN 38.3 test summary, SDS) for battery-powered products
The Response Pack
| Document | Purpose | Who issues it |
|---|---|---|
| Declaration of Conformity | Manufacturer declares conformity to the applicable directives | Manufacturer (we can prepare the template) |
| Test report | Evidence of compliance testing against the standard | Accredited laboratory (us) |
| Certificate | Scheme evidence, e.g. FCC / SRRC / CB-based national marks | Certification body |
| Authorization letter | EU authorized-representative mandate | Representative |
| Product documentation | Photos, label images, user manual, model list | You |
Response Timeline
Most marketplaces allow 5–10 business days to produce compliance documentation; customs holds vary by port and declaration type. If a re-test is needed for a changed product, expedited lab slots are the difference between a resolved inquiry and a delisted ASIN.
