Update time : 2025-02-28

In overseas markets, smart technology is driving the upgrade of the pet supplies industry. Smart pet products, such as intelligent feeders, smart dog collars, and automatic cat litter boxes, are becoming increasingly popular among consumers. These products integrate advanced technology to enable automated pet feeding and health management, significantly enhancing convenience and efficiency for users.

Additionally, the rise of cross-border e-commerce platforms has provided strong support for pet supply companies to enter international markets. The export certification requirements for pet supplies vary depending on the country or region.

 

Export Certification Requirements for the U.S. and European Markets

The U.S. and European markets impose strict quality and safety requirements on pet products. For example, pet toys exported to the U.S. must obtain ASTM certification, while those exported to Europe require EN71 certification. These regulations ensure the safety of pet products but also create high entry barriers for brands.

 

Currently, China's export volume of smart pet appliances continues to grow, with the EU market accounting for a significant share. To sell smart pet appliances in the EU, businesses must comply with a series of regulations and standards to ensure product safety, compliance, and quality.
