Import Compliance Guide: EU, UK & US Requirements for Toys & Miniatures
Import Compliance (EU/UK/US) refers to meeting all legal, safety, labelling, customs, and documentation requirements when bringing products into these markets. Regulations vary by region and product type.
In miniature gaming and toy supply, import compliance includes CE/UKCA markings, safety testing, packaging standards, customs declarations, tariff classification, and age-appropriate labeling. Sellers of trending toys or Amazon FBA products must ensure full compliance before adding items to an Amazon stocklist, as Amazon frequently audits listings. Toy wholesale suppliers rely on strict compliance procedures to maintain credibility and offer profitable toys wholesale without risk of seizure or penalties.
Example in practice:
A seller importing resin miniatures into the EU must ensure correct polymer classification, provide safety documentation, and apply proper labeling before customs release.
Why does this matter?
Non-compliance can result in:
- Fines
- ASIN suppression
- Shipment seizure
- Product recalls
