Starting December 28, 2024, you’ll be required to meet new Radio Equipment Directive requirements for wireless electrical and electronic products that transmit or receive radio waves, in our EU stores.

The updated directive sets out requirements for products to be equipped with a USB-C port, for customers to be able to buy the product without a charger. It also requires online listings to display pictograms that show the charging capabilities of the product and whether it's supplied with a charger.

To comply with the Radio Equipment Directive, you must fulfill the following requirements:

• Provide charging information starting October 1, 2024: Up to six attributes to indicate if your product includes a charger, its charging capabilities, and whether it’s rechargeable or includes batteries. We’ll use this information to automatically generate a pictogram and display it on your product detail page.
• Offer your product without a charger. Ensure that your product is available for purchase without a charger. If you choose to list your product with a charger, you must create a second ASIN for the version without a charger.

If you’re the manufacturer or importer, you’ll also be required to:

• Label the product with its charging capabilities.
• Ensure that the product is equipped with a USB-C port and that it’s compatible with the IEC 62680-1-2 standard.

If you’re a reseller, we recommend that you contact your supplier as soon as possible to ensure that your products comply with the Radio Equipment Directive.

After December 28, all new listings must meet these requirements. We’ll deactivate listings if we become aware of non-compliance.
