3C certification process for imported lamps:

Note: there are several difficulties in handling imported lamps, the first is the long certification time cycle, the second is the high cost of certification (at least tens of thousands of dollars for a 3c certification), the third foreign manufacturers for reasons such as trade secrets (to put it plainly, it is afraid of being copied by Chinese manufacturers), rarely accept factory inspection. Therefore, most Italian handicraft lamps are difficult to provide 3C certification when imported.
