Turkey Responsible Person Service
Following EU Responsible Person, UK Responsible Person, and US Responsible Person, we now introduce the Turkey Responsible Person!
Recently, the TEMU platform has mandated that sellers complete Turkey Responsible Person compliance.
Pursuant to regulations effective April 1, any economic operator placing products covered by the regulation on the Turkish market must appoint an economic operator established in Turkey to fulfill statutory obligations. Otherwise, products will be denied market access.
Sellers planning to enter the Turkish market must appoint and register a Turkey Responsible Person. TEMU will strengthen enforcement starting in March.
How should sellers respond?
