European Authorised Representative
What isEuropean Authorised Representative
The full name of EAR is the European Authorised Representative , which refers to a natural or legal person explicitly designated by a manufacturer located outside the European Economic Area EEA (including EU and EFTA). The natural or legal person may represent the manufacturer outside the EEA to perform specific duties required by the manufacturer in the relevant EU directives and laws.
When the products of exporters outside the EU encounter any problems in customs clearance, the European representative will help the exporter communicate with the customs and solve the problem, and the customs will usually require communication with the exporter's European representative. When the exporter's products have any problems during the sales process in the EU, it is also European Authorised Representativethat assists to solve the problem. Therefore, European Authorised Representative bears certain risks. The higher the risk of the products exported by the exporter, the higher the risk European Authorised Representative takes.
