I'm surprised that customs are looking for the CE mark. I didn't think it was necessary for import, I thought it was only needed if the product was placed on the market or put into service in an EU country. It would require CE mark on the packaging; something else I didn't think was necessary. _______________________________________________________________________________

Well, it doesn't; it's not intended to. Nor did any of the former national safety marks, such as SEMKO. The Declaration of Conformity indicates the specific safety compliance. The CE mark is an indication to customs officers and market surveillance officers that a DoC exists and the product should be admitted to the EU, cross national borders within it and can be offered for sale. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
