A little different problem than Mr. Xe is experiencing, but we recently had a product stopped at Customs in an EU country because the Declaration of Conformity supplied with the product did not call out the latest amendment to an applicable harmonized standard. We had previously performed an assessment to the latest amendment and determined no impact on our product, so quickly drew up a new Declaration to reference the latest amendment. This was insufficient to Customs. They required us to also provide evidence that we had done that assessment. We had no choice but to comply and provide the evidence because we couldn't afford to have this shipment held up any longer. My point here is that I think Customs overstepped their authority.
