Electric Blanket Export EU and USA Guide(图1)


Understand the Regulatory Requirements of the Target Market

Different countries and regions have different certification and testing requirements for electric blankets. For example:

 

- U.S. Market: Electric blankets must meet UL (Underwriters Laboratories) safety standards and FCC (Federal Communications Commission) EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards, and obtain certification through the corresponding tests.

  

- EU Market: CE certification is required, which includes:

  - Mechanical safety certification

  - Low Voltage Directive (LVD)

  - Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC)

  - Attention to the revised electric blanket safety standards (2021).

 

Prepare the Necessary Documentation

To successfully clear customs for electric blanket exports, manufacturers or exporters should prepare the following documents:

 

1. Manufacturer Information:

- Company name, address, and other basic details.

 

2. Product Manual:

- A detailed usage guide to ensure proper operation.

 

3. Safety Design Documents:

- Key structural diagrams reflecting important parameters like electrical gaps, creepage distances, and insulation layers.

 

4. Technical Specifications and Schematics:

- Description of the working principle and technical specifications.

 

5. Component List:

- A list of all components and their sources.

 

6. Test Reports:

- Performance test results from accredited laboratories.

 

7. Relevant Certifications:

- CE Declaration of Conformity (DoC), RoHS Compliance certificate, etc.

 

8. Registration Certificate (if applicable):

- Provide registration within the EU, if required.

 

9. Other Special Documents:

- Additional materials may be required based on specific regulations (e.g., pse certification for Japan).

 

Pay Attention to Packaging and Labeling Requirements

When exporting to specific countries, ensure compliance with packaging and labeling rules:

 

- France: Products sold must include French-language labels.

- Hazardous Products: Stricter safety warning labels for flammable, explosive, corrosive, or toxic substances.

 

Choose the Correct Customs Code

Choosing the correct HS code is essential for smooth customs clearance:

 

- For electric blankets, the 13-digit code used by Chinese customs is typically 6301100000.101 or 6301100000.102, depending on the type of product.

 

Ensure Product Quality Control

In addition to the required technical documents, quality assurance is critical:

 

- Establish a complete quality management system that ensures rigorous monitoring from raw material procurement to finished product shipment.

- This guarantees product reliability and safety.

 

Address International Recall Risks

With global trade expanding, communication regarding consumer product safety between countries is frequent. After launching products, it’s essential to:

 

- Monitor recall cases in international markets.

- Adjust production and marketing strategies in real-time to avoid potential risks.

 

Exporting electric blankets involves not only complex certification procedures but also requires strict adherence to various standards during production. Monitoring the latest developments in target markets is essential to ensure compliance with local laws and consumer expectations. With careful preparation and professional guidance, customs clearance can be smoother, and trade barriers can be minimized.
