Indian companies exporting to the EU — what requirements apply?
Three layers apply at once, and they are assessed separately. First, an economic operator established in the EU must take responsibility for the product or the data processing. Second, the product or service must meet the substantive Union legislation for its category, which is normally several acts rather than one. Third, sector rules on carbon, deforestation, chemicals or due diligence apply on top, and they are contractual as well as regulatory because the EU buyer is under the same duty.
What has to be done
- Product side: appoint a responsible person established in the EU whose name and address appear on the product, its packaging or the accompanying documents, and who can hand the technical documentation to a market surveillance authority on request.
- Data side: appoint a GDPR representative in writing in one of the Member States where the affected individuals are, and publish the identity and contact details in the privacy notice.
- Both roles must be real entities capable of receiving correspondence from a regulator. A forwarding mailbox or a group email is not an appointment.
