Digital Product Passport (DPP) for Importers

Importers play a key role in ensuring that products entering the EU market are compliant. They guarantee that every product has a valid Digital Product Passport (DPP) before reaching consumers and partners. This is crucial for transparency, trust and smooth access to the European market.

Regulatory Framework and Requirements

DPP for Importers

When does it become mandatory?

From July 2027 for batteries, then phased in for textiles, electronics, construction products, furniture and other sectors. Importers must ensure all imported products meet the requirements before entering the market.

What must importers ensure?

The availability of an up-to-date and valid DPP for every imported product. This includes verifying data completeness – composition, origin, sustainability, recyclability, carbon footprint and instructions for proper use.

Why is this critical for importers?

DPP minimises the risk of sanctions and products being pulled from the market. At the same time, it boosts customer trust, facilitates customs and regulatory inspections, and provides a competitive advantage.

Steps for DPP Implementation

Product creation at the factory

Entry of data on materials, composition and origin at the production stage.

Generating a Digital Passport

A unique DPP with QR code/link is created, containing structured information.

Supply chain integration

Manufacturers, distributors and importers add data – logistics, storage, certifications.

Access for retailers and service centres

Retailers receive product information, while service centres get maintenance and repair guidelines.

Access for end consumers

By scanning the QR code, customers can view full information – composition, sustainability, recycling.

Post-use tracking

When returned, recycled or reused, the passport is updated and closes the circular cycle.
