Blog: EU GPSR
Due to the excessively costly requirements of the EU General Product Safety Regulation, we can no longer supply books to consumers in the European Union.
The EU Regulation requires all consumer products to undergo safety testing, labelling and certification; and for all importers into the EU to employ a legal representative based in a Member State who carries responsibility for product safety.
This applies to every type of "product" including printed books, despite there being no associated product safety standards. The very high cost of compliance with GPSR is not viable given the sales volumes, so UVSAR can no longer sell our books direct to consumers in the affected countries.
