GPSR Amazon 2026: requirements, deadlines and what changes
Since 19 February 2026 the GPSR is fully enforceable in Germany via the amended ProdSG — and Amazon enforces it through Manage Your Compliance: without a verified Responsible Person, ASINs are deactivated automatically, sometimes EU-wide.
What Amazon requires in 2026
- EU Responsible Person in the compliance information
- contact details on the product/packaging
- safety information in the listing in the local language
- documentation in the Manage Your Compliance dashboard

A sourcing problem, not a listing problem
Responsible Person, warnings, REACH limits and USB-C are properties of the goods themselves — not fixable after delivery. The control point is before the order.
