As an independent distributor Seller/Brand party Brand owner, whether regulations (regulations Seller/Brand owner/whole sale/channel/manufacture/factory as long as it is separate, You need to apply separately) or the real sales platform (Amazon/Wish/eBey/Otto, etc.) in order to prevent the peer malicious selling or your store's strong competitors take the initiative to complain to the platform and cause your product to be removed, you need to apply in advance to reduce the loss.

 

3. The product is off the shelf, find a service provider to take an urgent service mode, the fastest 24 hours and the slowest three weeks can also get the code, there is nothing to worry about

 

At present, you can learn from various channels “ 24 hours off ” /” Registration completed in 24 hours “ All are “ Confuse the public ” , is a means of marketing publicity, taking Germany as an example, WEEE coding registration authority Stiftung-ear official website clearly stated “ All registered applicants in the world, equal treatment, the principle of complete equality ” There are no special channels.

 

So called “ 24 hours off ” /” Registration completed in 24 hours “ This means that after you have signed a contract with your service provider, your service provider helps you to open a Stiftung-ear “ Document declaration ” And get a customer serial number is also called “ Traceability number ” It is usually a combination of 12 digits and letters, such as “ SI-201900X-0XXXXX” This is not the ear registration code, which consists of eight digits.

5. With the registration code, after the second year, don't worry about

WEEE-ear registration is valid for 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. When most customers or sellers cannot predict whether the sales prospect of the same product in the second year will be good, they tend to choose the code that is valid for 1 year registration (calculated in natural year, such as 20210101-20211231 as a natural year). However, this code will temporarily expire automatically in the second natural year, you need to re-sign the contract and pay before the expiration to renew your registration code, otherwise you can only apply completely new and wait for a full 4-6 week cycle to obtain a new registration code.

 

6. So many service providers, all provide the same service, choose the cheapest can

 

In any industry, in any product, in any corner of the world, there will always be shoddy products and claims to get the best product or service at the lowest price.
