>The CE mark is now a condition of import and checked by Customs Yes: the CE mark is addressed to Customs and regulatory authorities, and not to anyone else. It tells them that the product has the right to cross the EU border and its internal borders, and that it meets the Essential Requirements of applicable Directives, so is legal to offer for sale in the EU. > if its visible on the shipping boxes? It doesn't *have* to be on the boxes, but if you don't want them opened and rummaged, put it on the outside. At one point, jobsworths said it was normally illegal to put it on the outside, but common sense prevailed in this exceptional case. > I must have missed that point in the EMCD and in the LVD.
