The automatic verification by customs authorities of the reference to the digital product passport for toys entering the Union market should not replace or modify the responsibilities of the market surveillance authorities but only complement the overall framework for controls on products entering the Union market. Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 should continue to apply to toys so as to ensure that market surveillance authorities carry out checks on the information contained in the digital product passports and checks on toys within the market in accordance with that Regulation and, in the event of the suspension of release for free circulation by the authorities designated for controls at the Union’s external borders, determine the compliance and risks of toys pursuant to Chapter VII of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020.
