Chapter information is indicative; the actual obligation depends on the product's function.
A significant share of automotive spare parts is subject to type approval and product safety inspection at import. Safety-critical parts such as brake pads, glass, mirrors, lighting equipment, tyres and seat belts require an E or e approval mark. Inspection covers not only the presence of the mark but also whether the imported batch matches the approval certificate.

How the process works
How the process works
Item-level scope analysis
We assess every line item separately — in mixed consignments a single item can hold up the entire shipment.
Verification of approvals
We confirm that the approval number is consistent across the product marking and the certificate.
Application and inspection
We run the TAREKS application and organise samples and labelling if a physical inspection is requested.
Conclusion
We obtain the reference number and propose remedies for non-compliant items.
