I am confused about one thing though, and I ask it on the forum so that others may find clarity in your answer. Are you saying that when some professor at a university asks a little grey-haired lady in purchasing to buy a thingamabob from this guy across the pond, then she is the importer and is therefore the responsible party?

I'm not selling the particular device anymore to EU, but I did do quite a bit of research and the technical construction file ... blah moot point now.

I am planning on selling something else in the future. I'll just make sure I make a boat load of money over here first then pay for a qualified independent lab analysis for CE, or find a partner over the pond to import and distribute after doing their own analysis.
