VIII. Seller Recommendations

1. Certification Priorities:

- Electronics: CE (EU) + FCC (US) + PSE (Japan) mandatory.

- Textiles: OEKO-TEX® (global) + GOTS (organic cotton) for premium pricing.

2. Cost Optimization:

- Use mutual recognition certifications (e.g., IECEE CB Scheme covering 50 countries).

- Join platform bulk certification services for 30%–50% cost reduction.
