Ftech9 Solid State Relay

EU law requires New electrical items to be E or Ce marked if Importing them into the EU.
This requires very expensive lab testing which is why f-tech can only ship to addresses within the USA.
They hope that when the UK formally leaves the EU they will drop the requirement for e/E-Mark testing.

I thought the whole point of this thread was that as a result of the EU law you were looking at some method of internal delivery within the US and then 'gifting' the delivery to the UK to avoid the EU regulations?
The other method would be for someone on here who is travelling to the states to collect and hand carry the package back to the UK.

Yes but one of my contacts is also not keen to do this as Ftech says:

The CE-Mark is relatively easy go get on low-voltage devices. However, the e/E-Mark is an entirely different requirement for automotive electrical components.

Anyone may buy my relays and have them shipped to an address within in the USA. However, if the relays are shipped outside of the USA, the individuals responsible for sending and receiving the relays become responsible for the laws and customs of both countries. My very non-expert opinion is that the EU requires e/E-Mark testing on all automotive electrical parts, thus I prefer to stay on the safe side and not ship directly to EU member countries.

I'm going to Mexico in August if they can throw the packages over the wall ;)

As mentioned before, the guy at F-tech was very helpful and delivered them with 2 day shipping to my hotel at Disneyland Florida last year.

If UK Customs took an interest 17 relays might be stretching it for a gift. It may spoil your day if you got taken to a room and had to touch your toes too....
