The Regulatory Reality

EU Compliance Is Not a Checkbox — It Is the Gatekeeper to the Entire EU Market

Most Indian exporters treat EU compliance as an afterthought — something to "sort out" after the first EU buyer shows interest. This approach consistently fails: CE marking takes 3-6 months, REACH registration 6-18 months, GPSR Responsible Person appointment is required before the first Amazon EU listing, and CBAM reporting started in 2023.

Amit Jain brings the perspective of an EU-established operator — running Global Nexus from Porto, Portugal — with direct experience navigating EU regulatory requirements for Indian trade facilitation mandates across 30 verticals. This is not theory read from official guidance. It is the operational reality of what it actually takes to get Indian goods into EU hands legally.

Every module is structured around practical action: what certification is needed, who issues it, what it costs, how long it takes, and what happens if you skip it. Participants leave with a personalised EU regulatory roadmap for their specific product category.

Who Should Attend

Indian manufacturers preparing first EU shipment · Export managers at Indian companies with EU buyer interest · Amazon EU sellers needing GPSR and CE compliance · Indian chemical companies targeting EU buyers · Engineering and automotive component manufacturers seeking IATF 16949 and CE marking clarity · Compliance managers at Indian pharma companies navigating EU-GMP and REACH

1
CE Marking

CE marking is the legal passport for products in the EU. Without it, products in scope cannot legally be placed on the EU market, sold online, or imported by EU buyers.

2
REACH

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals — covering all chemical substances above 1 tonne/year imported into EU. Non-compliance means customs seizure.

3
GPSR (2024)

General Product Safety Regulation, in force August 2024, mandates an EU Responsible Person for all consumer products sold online in EU. Amazon enforces this actively.

4
CBAM (2026)

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism — EU carbon pricing for steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen. Indian exporters must provide verified carbon intensity data from 2026.

5
EUDR

EU Deforestation Regulation — mandatory geolocation-based due diligence for cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soya, wood, rubber, and derived products from December 2024.

6
GDPR for Exporters

GDPR applies to Indian IT companies, e-commerce sellers, and any Indian business processing EU personal data — regardless of where the Indian company is established.

The Programme

8 Modules · EU Regulatory Compliance & Certification

From CE marking fundamentals to CBAM carbon accounting — a complete EU regulatory education for Indian exporters.

The Global Nexus Difference

EU Regulatory Expertise Backed by Active Trade Facilitation

Not Textbook Compliance

This programme is built from mandate experience — the regulatory problems that actually arise when Indian goods reach EU customs, EU buyers reject shipments, or Amazon EU removes listings.

EU-Established Perspective

Amit Jain operates Global Nexus from Porto, Portugal — as an EU-established business owner. The programme reflects the lived reality of EU regulatory compliance, not a remote interpretation of EU law.

Product-Category Specific

Every participant receives a module content filter tailored to their specific product category — pharma, textiles, engineering, food, chemicals, or consumer goods.

Mandate-to-Market Bridge

Understanding EU compliance is one thing. Applying it to an active trade mandate with a real EU buyer is another. Global Nexus bridges both — from regulatory clarity to commercial introduction.
