Today, machinery from hubs like Shenzhen or Shanghai competes on equal terms with European and American manufacturers in terms of precision, automation, and digital integration. However, this technological excellence must inevitably align with the European Union\u2019s strict regulatory framework, which leaves no room for compromise on safety and compliance.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5a56b8b3d6275109894c09b9c185928c\"><b data-path-to-node=\"2,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">THE IMPORTER AS LEGAL &#8220;MANUFACTURER&#8221;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A common mistake is thinking that compliance responsibility lies solely with the non-EU manufacturer.

This implies verifying the EU Declaration of Conformity, ensuring the user manual is correct (which must be in Italian), and making sure the CE marking is authentic and not the misleading &#8220;China Export&#8221; symbol.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-264bd960f744a57871f3e394255b7f43\"><div class=\"attachment-container unknown\">&#13;\n<div class=\"text-box-container ng-star-inserted\" data-test-id=\"text-box-container\">&#13;\n<div class=\"text-box-content\">&#13;\n<div class=\"text-box-text gds-headline-s\" dir=\"auto\" data-test-id=\"text-box-text\"><strong>ECM&#8217;S ROLE IN SUPPORTING IMPORTS<\/strong><\/div><br\/><\/div><br\/><\/div><br\/><\/div><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to our expertise as a Notified Body, we help companies ensure that cutting-edge Chinese technology is backed by an impeccable Technical File.
