Now that the UK has left the European Union and the Single Market, free movement of goods has come to an end between the Great Britain and the EU. Great Britain (GB) is now a “third” country supplier of goods to the EU and any product sold by a GB company to an EU consumer must be comply with the product labelling requirements of the EU member state concerned.

UKFT has produced an updated guide to EU Responsible Company (EURC) Requirements, which is available to UKFT members. For more details on membership, click here or email info@ukft.org.

The document covers:

• What is an EU Responsible Company or Entity and what is its purpose?
• Which products need an EURC?
• Where should the EURC details be shown?
• Who can act as an EU Responsible Company or Entity
• What are the duties and legal role of the EURC?
• Do companies selling to the UK also have some form of Responsible Company marking?
