EU Compliance Provider Directory for Ecommerce Sellers

Who this applies to

This page is for ecommerce sellers — including Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, WooCommerce and DTC brands — who are preparing to sell physical products to consumers in the European Union and want to understand what types of compliance providers may be relevant to their situation.

Sellers may need to review compliance provider options if they need help with EU Responsible Person representation, EPR packaging registration, WEEE, battery compliance, or GPSR product safety documentation. Provider needs vary depending on the products you sell, the EU markets you target, and the compliance topics that may apply to your business.

If you are not sure which provider category you need, you can use the EU Seller Compliance Checker to identify topics to review, or leave a message describing your situation.

Provider categories to review

EU compliance providers may specialise in different areas. Understanding the main provider categories may help sellers identify the right type of service for their needs:

• EU Responsible Person providers — for product safety representative and contact services in GPSR contexts
• GPSR product safety support providers — for product safety documentation, warnings, and compliance review
• EPR packaging registration providers — for country-specific packaging EPR registration, reporting and scheme participation
• WEEE and battery compliance providers — for electrical, electronic and battery-related compliance topics
• Marketplace compliance advisors — for platform-specific compliance guidance and evidence requests

Some providers may offer combined services covering multiple categories. Others may specialise in one area. Sellers should review the specific scope of any provider before engaging.

EU Responsible Person providers

An EU Responsible Person is a natural or legal person established in the EU who receives documentation from non-EU manufacturers and ensures compliance with GPSR product safety requirements. EU Responsible Person providers may offer representative services for non-EU sellers.

When reviewing EU Responsible Person providers, consider:

• Whether the provider offers genuine EU Responsible Person representation under GPSR contexts
• The countries and markets where the provider can act as Responsible Person
• The documentation the provider will hold and make available
• Whether the provider also offers product safety documentation support
• The renewal terms and ongoing obligations

See the EU Responsible Person service guide and Do I need an EU Responsible Person? for more context.

GPSR product safety support providers

GPSR product safety support providers may help sellers with product safety documentation, safety assessments, EU Responsible Person setup, labelling requirements, and traceability documentation under GPSR contexts.

When reviewing GPSR support providers, consider:

• The product categories the provider has experience with
• Whether the provider offers EU Responsible Person representation or works alongside an existing Responsible Person
• The documentation templates and safety assessment support available
• Whether the provider can support both General GPSR and AI-enhanced GPSR contexts
• Ongoing support and product update handling

Platform-specific guidance is available in the GPSR compliance for Shopify sellers, GPSR compliance for Amazon sellers, and GPSR compliance for Etsy sellers guides.

EPR packaging registration providers

EPR packaging registration providers may help sellers register with country-specific packaging EPR schemes, manage periodic reporting obligations, and maintain compliance across multiple EU markets.

When reviewing EPR packaging providers, consider:

• The EU countries and packaging schemes covered
• Whether the provider handles both registration and ongoing reporting
• The dual system participation arrangements (for Germany)
• Accredited scheme membership (for France)
• Reporting frequency and fee management
• Support for multiple country setup

See the Germany EPR packaging guide, France EPR packaging guide, EPR compliance for Amazon sellers and EPR compliance for Shopify sellers for country and platform-specific context.

WEEE and battery compliance providers

WEEE and battery compliance providers may help sellers with registration under national WEEE registers, battery producer compliance schemes, and ongoing reporting for electrical equipment, electronics and battery-containing products.

When reviewing WEEE and battery providers, consider:

• The EU countries where the provider can register sellers
• The product categories covered (electrical equipment, batteries, or both)
• Whether the provider offers WEEE, battery or combined services
• Producer registration number acquisition and management
• Periodic reporting support and fee management
• Overlap with packaging EPR obligations

For a plain-English comparison of WEEE and battery topics, see the EPR packaging vs WEEE vs batteries guide.

How to compare providers

Comparing compliance providers may be challenging because service offerings, pricing models and scope vary significantly. Here are factors sellers may want to consider:

• Countries covered — which EU markets does the provider support
• Product categories supported — does the provider cover your specific product types
• Service scope — what exactly is included in the quoted service
• Official registration support — does the provider handle direct registration with national authorities
• Documentation review — does the provider review or prepare compliance documents
• Platform support — can the provider help with Amazon, Shopify, Etsy or WooCommerce requirements
• Renewal and reporting support — does the provider handle ongoing obligations or only initial registration
• Pricing model — one-time fee, annual subscription, per-country, or per-product-category pricing
• Evidence provided — what documents or registration confirmations does the provider deliver
• Contract terms — minimum term, cancellation terms, data handling
• Response time — typical turnaround for registration and support requests
• Data privacy — how does the provider handle your business and product information
• Conflict of interest disclosure — whether the provider has referral arrangements with other services

Questions to ask before buying

Asking the right questions before engaging a provider may help sellers avoid misunderstandings and unexpected costs. Consider asking:

1. Which EU countries do you cover?
2. Which product categories do you support?
3. Do you support non-EU ecommerce sellers?
4. Do you support Shopify, Amazon, Etsy or WooCommerce sellers?
5. What exactly is included in the service fee?
6. Do you provide official registration numbers or evidence documents where relevant?
7. Do you help with renewals or periodic reporting?
8. What information do you need from the seller to begin?
9. What is the pricing model — one-time, annual, per-country, per-category?
10. Are there product categories, volumes or market limits that you do not support?
11. How should sellers verify your official role or registration status?
12. Is legal advice included or excluded from your service?

Sellers should also request a written scope of service before committing and review contract terms carefully.

What sellers should prepare before contacting providers

Having the following information ready may help providers give more accurate quotes and faster onboarding:

• Business legal name and address
• Business location and country of incorporation
• Store and selling platform URLs
• Target EU selling countries
• Product categories and product types
• Estimated annual units or volumes where relevant
• Existing registration numbers or provider documents (if any)
• Current platform warnings or evidence requests (if any)
• Urgency and EU market launch timeline
• Specific compliance topics you need help with

Security note: Do not send confidential legal files, source code, or sensitive product documents through a basic contact form. Use secure channels when sharing sensitive business or product information with providers.

When to use the EU Seller Compliance Checker

If you are not sure which compliance topics may apply to your business, the EU Seller Compliance Checker may help identify the areas you need to review before contacting providers. The checker does not provide legal advice but may help you understand which topics — EU Responsible Person, EPR packaging, WEEE, batteries or GPSR — are relevant to your product categories and target markets.

Once you have identified the relevant topics, you can use the information on this page to understand provider categories and prepare your questions.
