Hello mr. Flanigan, The one that actually sells the product on the European Market will be held responsible. I am not sure if you are USA based, but in that case your REP will get the headache, as well as bear all legal (and financial) consequences. Hope for him he has a decent contract with you, hope for you you don't.:<))
If you don't have a REP, well then it's your EC customer who is liable ! You'd better have one anyway, to prevent being sued one day by one of your customer's. Your REP will hold the (by him) signed DoC.
