What is RoHS and which Indian products must comply?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive restricts 10 substances including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and certain flame retardants in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). Indian electronics, LED lights, solar panels, medical devices, and industrial equipment exported to EU must comply with RoHS. Test your products at an accredited laboratory and include RoHS compliance in your CE marking Declaration of Conformity.
What are EU Rapid Alert System (RASFF) notifications and how do they affect Indian agro-food exporters?
RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) is the EU' food safety alert network. If Indian agro-food is found to contain pesticide residues above MRL, undeclared allergens, pathogens, or other hazards, EU member state authorities file a RASFF notification — publicly visible on the RASFF portal. RASFF notifications for Indian origin: most commonly for aflatoxins (spices, nuts), pesticide MRL exceedances (vegetables, fruits, spices), and Salmonella (spices, sesame). To avoid: test against EU MRLs (stricter than Codex) at an EU-accredited laboratory before each shipment.
How can Indian companies sell on Amazon EU?
Indian companies selling on Amazon EU: (1) Register on Amazon Seller Central (EU accounts cover UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Belgium, with separate portals for each), (2) Obtain EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) number for EU customs, (3) Register for EU VAT (or use OSS — One Stop Shop for pan-EU registration), (4) Use Amazon FBA (Fulfil by Amazon EU) — send inventory to Amazon EU warehouses in one EU country and Amazon distributes across EU, (5) Ensure CE marking and product compliance for your category, (6) Use IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) for consignments under EUR 150 direct from India.
What is VAT OSS and IOSS for Indian sellers?
VAT OSS (One Stop Shop): allows EU-registered businesses to report and pay VAT for all EU sales in one EU country, rather than registering in each EU country separately. IOSS (Import One Stop Shop): for non-EU sellers (including Indian sellers) shipping individual consignments under EUR 150 directly to EU consumers. Under IOSS, the Indian seller collects VAT at checkout and remits it quarterly through IOSS — goods are then imported into EU VAT-free at customs. Indian Amazon, Shopify, and D2C sellers need IOSS registration (through an EU-based IOSS intermediary).
What is D2C trade and how can Indian brands access EU consumers directly?
D2C (Direct to Consumer): Indian brands selling directly to EU consumers without retail intermediaries. Platforms: (1) Shopify with EU localised stores — multilingual, multi-currency, EU VAT compliant, (2) Etsy — ideal for handmade, artisan, craft, textile, and jewellery products, (3) Amazon EU Marketplace — self-fulfil or use FBA, (4) Zalando — for fashion and footwear brands, (5) Brand' own EU website with EU-compliant payment (Stripe, PayPal, Klarna). Requirements: CE marking where applicable, EU VAT/IOSS, EU-language product pages, EU-standard return policy, GDPR privacy policy.
