Selling Electronic Products
Hi,
do we need in the UK any official government permissions to sell electronic products online ? Or can any electronic product be sold without applying for any official permission? Thanks for your help.
Best regards

You could find yourself responsible for the CE marking on the product as the importer, even though you purchased the goods CE marked. If so the responsibility to ensure that the products are compliant with all applicable European Directives (e.g. LVD, EMC, RoHS, WEEE etc) is yours.
Should it transpire that the electronic goods you are selling are unsafe, you could find yourself with a costly product recall, and as a worst case scenario find yourself in jail.
Before embarking on the sale of any electronic equipment – as a minimum be sure that it is safe, meeting applicable safety standards.
