Importing Items Without a CE Certifcate...
Q: We know there is a CE certificate for the type of electrical product we want to import, but some of the suppliers overseas don't have their products certificated yet, although they are good products. If we import such items, are we likely to have any problem with Customs?
A: Yes. Without a CE approval certificate, you are likely to have a problem with HM Revenue & Customs. They may want to know why there is no CE certificate and require proof that the products are legally manufactured (ie, not counterfeit).
As a customs broker, it is our legal requirement to report such activity and we would therefore strongly recommend that you obtain appropriate certification before attempting to import.
We would also recommend you to contact the Chamber of Commerce or British Trading Standards for further information on the regulatory position.
