Detailed explanation of EPR compliance obligations and CPC certification for Temu platform sellers in the French market
For sellers selling certain categories of products on the French market, it is essential to comply with the relevant French legal provisions – the so-called “Extended Producer Responsibility” (EPR) compliance obligations. In addition, the Temu platform also proposes CPC certification requirements for children’s products. This article will introduce these two aspects in detail to help sellers better understand and implement relevant regulations.
EPR Compliance Obligations
1. Register and obtain a unique identification number (UIN)
For each EPR category involved in the products sold, sellers need to register with a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) and obtain a valid Unique Identification Number (UIN). If the products sold involve multiple EER categories, each category needs to be registered separately.
2. Periodic reporting and payment of fees
Based on the EPR category of the products sold, sellers must report to PRO regularly and pay relevant fees.
3. Other recycling obligations
In addition to the above two points, sellers also need to fulfill other relevant recycling obligations.
If you have completed EPR registration, you can submit relevant information through the platform. If the registration information is not submitted on time, the platform will withhold environmental recycling fees.
4. EPR qualification submission steps
- Login account: Use the main account to log in to Pinduoduo Cross-border Seller Center.
- Enter the management interface: Click Account Management or Account Management to enter the subject details page.
- Add registration number: Click to add a registration number in the Extended Producer Responsibility Qualification column.
- Fill in the information: Fill in the German or French EPR registration number as required, and pay attention to the correct format.
- Submit for review: Submit for review after confirming that the information is correct.
CPC certification
For children’s products, the Temu platform requires CPC certification to ensure that the products meet the market compliance requirements of the destination country.
1. Requirements for CPC certification
- Special product requirements: Children’s pajamas, accessories for children under 3 years old, and toys must upload CPC certification qualifications when publishing.
- Increased spot checks: For other children’s products, the platform will increase spot checks on CPC certification qualifications.
2. Selection of third-party testing agencies
The CPC certificate must be based on the test results of a third-party testing laboratory recognized by the CPSC.
3. Information and timeliness required for CPC certification
Sellers need to provide a business license, application form and samples for testing. The certification process is expected to take 5 working days.
To sum up, understanding and fulfilling EPR compliance obligations and CPC certification requirements is a task that sellers selling products in the French market cannot ignore. The Temu platform will provide support and guidance to ensure the smooth operation of sellers’ businesses.
