Phone accessories from China: high margin — if compliance and quality are right
Cases, screen protection, cables, chargers, power banks, mounts: the highest-margin accessory segment in electronics retail — and one with clear EU rules. We source from vetted manufacturers and deliver the compliance documents with the goods.
The three accessory traps
Accessories seem trivial — until the first charger overheats or Amazon asks for test reports.
Electrical safety
Cheap chargers save on insulation and protection circuits. We only buy from manufacturers with valid test reports (LVD/EMC, RED for wireless) and have spot checks retested.
Batteries in transit
Power banks and battery accessories need UN 38.3 test reports and correct dangerous goods declarations — otherwise the shipment gets stuck at the airport or port. We handle this completely.
Compatibility chaos
USB-C is not just USB-C: charging power, data rates, e-marker chips. We specify the performance data and test each batch against target devices — “does not charge” returns are avoidable.
What we handle for accessory sellers
Compliance package per product
CE declaration of conformity, test reports, RoHS/REACH evidence, WEEE/battery registration duties: we assemble the package that market surveillance and marketplaces want to see.
Function testing per batch
Measuring charging power, flexing cables, checking case fitment, testing screen protector adhesion — to a test plan, with a report before shipment.
Private label instead of price war
Generic accessories are pure price war. With your own branding, packaging and curated range you defend margin — we build it with you.
Straight to Amazon or your warehouse
FNSKU labels, set bundling (case + glass + cable), prep center delivery: we deliver retail-ready — DDP, with an EU-compliant invoice.
How your accessory import runs
Send a product list or references — we check manufacturers, test reports and prices.
Samples with function and compatibility testing — released by you.
Production with batch inspection; compliance documents completed in parallel.
Shipping including dangerous goods handling for batteries — DDP to warehouse or Amazon.
Common questions about phone accessories
What duties do I have as an importer of chargers and power banks?
As importer you are legally the party placing on the market: you need the CE declaration with test reports (LVD, EMC, RED for wireless products), plus WEEE registration for electrical devices and battery register entry for batteries in your country. Sounds like a lot — we supply the technical documentation in a structured way and walk you through the registration steps.
How do I avoid quality issues with cases and screen protectors?
Fitment is everything: we test samples on the actual target devices (button feel, camera cutout, edge protection) and define material hardness, glass thickness and oleophobic coating. In production, AQL sampling checks exactly these features — plus packaging condition, because scratched goods do not sell.
Is the segment worthwhile despite hard competition?
Hardly for generic standard cases — but very much for curated ranges, niche devices (older models, B2B devices, rugged cases) and own-brand sets: purchase prices of 10–20 % of retail are normal there. The key is range curation, not the cheapest purchase.
