Product Regulations & Labeling Requirements
Earphones and Headphones are regulated by the various standards and labeling requirements. Importing non-compliant products is illegal and can result in the goods being seized and destroyed.
When it comes to this category of products, different regulations apply based on whether the product is wireless or not.
a. Wireless Earphones
Wireless (i.e., Bluetooth enabled) headphones and earphones must comply with various radio communications protocols.
In the United States, this includes FCC Part 15. In the European Union, wireless earphones and headphones must comply with Radio Equipment Directives.
b. wired Earphones
In the EU, all electronics must comply with RoHS, which regulates heavy metals. Notice that RoHS also applies to wireless electronics.
In the US, you may need to ensure compliance with both FCC Part 15, and CA Prop 65.
c. Labeling
In the EU, all electronics must be CE marked and have a WEEE label.
In the United States, the country of origin label is mandatory. Hence, make sure the packaging is labeled with ‘ Made in China’.
Keep in mind that most Chinese suppliers don’t know how earphones or headphones should be labeled in other countries. They might have a vague idea, but it’s your responsibility to make sure that the product and the packaging are correctly labeled.
You cannot, legally speaking, sell any product that is incorrectly labelled.

Nearly every earphone and headphone manufacturer on Alibaba and Global Sources are OEM manufacturers, at their core.
This means that they can make any product, based on your design and technical requirements.
However, don’t expect them to develop your product ideas for you.
Most manufacturers will not even respond, unless you can show the following:

Sourcing on Alibaba.com and Globalsources.com
Alibaba.com and Globalsources.com are the two largest supplier directories in the world. Virtually every export focused earphone and headphone maker in China are listed on these websites.
