Product compliance

Meet a market’s product rules before your first order ships.

Every market sets its own rules for what a product must carry, say and prove before it can be sold. ExpandNow supports that work as part of the operating layer, so compliance is planned with the launch rather than discovered after it.

What it covers

The rules that apply to the product itself.

Beyond tax, physical goods have to meet category, safety and information requirements in each market.

Conformity marks

CE marking for the EU and UKCA marking for Great Britain, where your product category requires them.

Responsible person

Many consumer products sold in the EU need an economic operator based there who is responsible for the product’s compliance.

Labeling and product information

Safety warnings, traceability details and language requirements on the product, its packaging or its listing.

Channel checks

TikTok Shop and marketplaces review category and product documents during seller onboarding.
