1. Product Selection: Compliance Comes First
Selecting compliant products is the foundation for successful cross-border e-commerce. TEMU maintains strict product certification requirements, particularly for industries with standardized versus customized product models. Comprehensive documentation directly correlates with marketplace accessibility and sales potential.
Prioritize products with complete certification packages during sourcing. While initial costs may be higher, this approach significantly reduces future compliance expenses and processing time, allowing greater focus on marketing and operations.
2. Certification Verification: Critical Pre-Submission Checks
Before uploading any documentation, conduct thorough verification. For electronic products specifically:
- Product Markings: CE markings (minimum 5mm height) and model numbers must appear on the product itself, exactly matching certification documents. Pre-engraved markings eliminate post-processing costs.
- Certification Authority: Verify issuing bodies against TEMU's approved list. Non-compliant certificates will delay approval regardless of appearance.
- Regional Requirements: Products destined for Germany, Latvia, Denmark, or Czech Republic must display manufacturer details unless the product's longest dimension measures under 2.5cm.
3. Inventory Preparation: Mandatory Product Markings
During inventory preparation, ensure these markings are properly applied:
- Front: Brand logo for identification
- Back: Model number, CE, FCC, RoHS, UKCA markings, and WEEE symbol (with black bars exceeding 1mm height)
4. Platform Information Submission: Precision Matters
- Manufacturer Details: Must precisely match certification documents' "Manufacturer" field for all uploaded certificates (CE, FCC, RoHS, UKCA).
- Representative Information: EU, UK, and Turkey representative details must align with the TEMU store registration entity.
- Document Upload: Submit all relevant certifications (CE-EMC, CE-LVD, CE-RoHS) to their designated platform sections.
5. Packaging Label Specifications
Packaging labels (recommended 80×40mm) must contain:
- All applicable certification marks (CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS)
- Product model number
- Manufacturer name and address
- Contact email
- Representative information (EU, UK, Turkey)
6. Conclusion: Compliance as Competitive Advantage
Under TEMU's full-turnkey model, product markings, platform information, and packaging labels collectively determine marketplace accessibility. Comprehensive compliance documentation serves as the gateway to multi-country distribution and sales success.
