The compliance pack
The compliance pack. A paid add-on, EUR 250 to 500 per order: the CE or GPSR file for your product as made, the responsible person named on the label, import VAT and EORI explained for your country, a label check before printing, test reports reviewed and filed. If customs stops your shipment for paperwork we handled, we fix it at our cost. See the compliance pack.
Battery orders include chemistry and air transport documents where required.
