CE marking for imported machinery

Apart from all the knowledge required for a proper machinery importation, it’s essential to know that machinery must have CE marking and comply with one or more of the European Union standards, depending on its final use. This type of machinery encompasses electrical tools, agricultural equipment, packaging machines, printers, lifting machines, and a wide range of other machines.

Many companies are unaware of how to apply the regulations that affect their machinery and do not know who is responsible for ensuring compliance. Moreover, selling and using such products without proper adaptation and approval of EN and EC directives is illegal, as they are required for CE conformity.

A machine that has been manufactured in China, India, Turkey, Japan, Korea, or any other country outside the European Union, the party responsible for ensuring compliance with the various directives applicable to CE marking is the IMPORTER. Despite authorities tending to refer to the manufacturer as responsible, when machines are manufactured abroad, the importer (you) is considered the manufacturer for all intents and purposes and therefore is SOLELY responsible for CE compliance.

Here comes one of the most interesting aspects, which is when a plethora of scams occur, hot returns of products, unnecessary expenses for customs storage, ultimately, complete loss of your money, sometimes loss of the product itself, and at best, higher costs than initially contemplated.

When we refer to interesting aspects, we mean that this is when the true and authentic manufacturers emerge, those who truly own the CE markings and who can make the declarations of responsibility. These declarations are often made haphazardly because the true scammers have nothing to lose. All documents provided must be verified in the country of origin, not in the destination country.
