  "title": "EU AI Act (EU) 2024/1689 - Article 23: Obligations of Importers of High-Risk AI Systems",
  "domain": "AI Governance & Law",
  "version": "2.0",
  "last_updated": "2026-05-09",
  "bluf": "Article 23 places specific obligations on importers - EU-established entities that place a high-risk AI system from a non-EU provider on the EU market. Before placing the system on the market, importers must verify: (a) the provider has completed the appropriate conformity assessment procedure; (b) the provider has drawn up the technical documentation per Article 18; (c) the system bears the required CE marking; (d) the provider has drawn up the EU declaration of conformity; and (e) the system includes instructions for use per Article 13. If an importer has reasons to believe a high-risk AI system does not conform to the AI Act requirements or poses a risk, they must not place it on the market until the non-conformity is remediated. Importers must indicate their name and contact details on the AI system or its documentation, maintain a copy of the declaration of conformity for 10 years, and cooperate with competent authorities.",
