How we can help?
CERT and Clarity Regulatory have successfully collaborated to provide you with technical support and Authorised Representation (FBO) Services for your supplements export market. Chidi from Clarity Regulatory champions the supplements legislation requirements while Craig at CERTLabel handles the legal product representation. CERT collaborate with trusted business partners to make a formidable team offering you a strong technical and legal resource for supplements, food and non-food products in both the UK and EU markets.
If you export and sell products to the European Union (EU) and are resident outside the EU, you will need market representation. The same applies for the United Kingdom (UK).
Since July 2021 the EU market introduced the new Market Surveillance Regulation, so if you sell products into the EU/EEA without using an importer or fulfilment service provider, you will need local market representation. This means you will no longer be able to sell products online abroad and then ship the product directly to the consumer in the EU/EEA markets without local market representation.
Fortunately, we can offer a solution to this challenge!
The process can be set up quickly in 4 easy steps:
