I thought the date was June 1, but regardless, it sounds as if you import something in the interim time period you would have to recall it shortly thereafter? We don't use the stuff here so other than determining we don't have to worry about it I have not dug too deep.

As of 1 May 2009 Member States shall ensure that products containing DMF and already placed or made available on the market are withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers, and that consumers are adequately informed of the risk posed by such products. The Directive was published in mid March and enter into force in May. This gives time to the enforcement authorities to prepare for the action. What are the import goods handled between mid March and 1 May? - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
