When toys coming from third countries are placed under the customs procedure of release for free circulation, the reference to a digital product passport for those toys should be made available to the customs authorities by the economic operator. The reference to the digital product passport should correspond to a unique registration identifier communicated to the economic operator by the registry. Customs authorities should verify as a minimum that a valid reference to the unique registration identifier and the relevant commodity code for the toy provided or made available to them corresponds to the data that are stored in the registry. This would allow customs authorities to verify that a digital product passport for imported toys exists. To carry out that automatic verification, the interconnection between the registry and EU CSW-CERTEX as provided for in Article 15(3) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 should be used.
