So consumers should just pay for a random import company to ”pinky promise” that it is safe? It is well known that most of the crap that is CE hasn’t actually gone through a million euro testing program. It’s just a stamp. And if something happens then well that LLC goes bankrupt (but odds are low)

License importers? Have them audited, post a bond, etc?
CE is self certification for most part. It’s just the seller saying ”yea, I promise it is safe”.

Should consumers have to post a bond to receive a package from abroad?
