One question decides these
Green claims and durability info on product pages
We couldn't tell from your profile: whether the specific furniture, wooden goods, or leather goods you sell fall under product groups for which the EU has established harmonised reparability score requirements.
Packaging rules for shipped orders (PPWR)
We couldn't tell from your profile whether you sell own-brand products or import goods from outside the EU without a domestic intermediary.
Deforestation-free products (EUDR)
We couldn't tell from your profile whether you are the first to place wooden furniture and leather goods on the EU market, because the profile does not say where the goods come from (imported from outside the EU, made yourself, or bought from an EU supplier).
Product safety info on every listing (GPSR)
We couldn't tell from your profile: whether you import furniture and leather goods from outside the EU (making you an importer under this regulation) or source them from EU-based suppliers (in which case these importer duties would not bind you).
