Where launches actually stall
Brands plan the markets, the channels and the ad budget. The compliance file tends to come last, and that is usually the point where a launch stops.
EU marketplaces now require a named EU contact for product safety on the listing. Without one, the offer comes down.
Selling into Germany or France? Marketplaces ask for your packaging EPR registration number and block the offer in that country until it is on file.
CE declarations, test reports and safety data sheets get requested at the border. By then the shipment is already sitting in a bonded warehouse.
Language, warnings and the importer's address on pack all vary by country. Fixing it at the factory is cheap. Relabelling stock after it lands is not.
What we handle for you
The same compliance work we do for the brands we own, applied to your catalogue.
For products we sell on your behalf, we act as the EU-based responsible operator, keep the technical file and are the contact authorities reach if a safety issue comes up.
We check that your declarations of conformity and test reports hold up for the EU and the UK, and flag what is missing before the goods move.
Packaging, electronics, batteries and textiles, registered in each EU market's own scheme. We keep the registration numbers your marketplaces ask for.
Country-specific labelling, language and warning requirements, reviewed per SKU against the markets on your roadmap (not just the one you launch first).
REACH checks for chemicals in the EU, plus the category rules for batteries and electronics where your products fall under them.
We coordinate FDA registration, listing and US agent where it applies
From catalogue to cleared
You send us what you have, and we work out what each market needs from it. Gaps get fixed and registered before your products list, which costs far less than finding them at customs or on a blocked listing. Once you are live, we keep the file current as the rules move.
We run brands in several categories ourselves
eBrands owns and operates its own consumer brands alongside partner brands. The compliance file we build for you follows the same process we use for our own products.
Every product we list goes through a review our team has carried out thousands of times. We know what customs authorities, market surveillance bodies and marketplaces expect to see, and we build the file to that standard from day one. Where more work is needed, such as testing, relabelling or a new registration, it follows a process we have already run across many markets.
Doing it with eBrands, or doing it yourself
Setting up compliance in a new market on your own means building it from scratch: the entity, the registrations and the liability. With eBrands, you plug into infrastructure that is already running.
A single market entry often turns into a multi-month project across legal, operations and finance, with costs compounding at every step. With eBrands, your products enter a compliance operation already running at scale, which shortens the path to market
