Navigating GPSR & EU Regulations: A Practical Guide for Artists and Makers

Session Overview

With the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) coming into effect in December 2024, artists and makers selling within the EU and Northern Ireland need to ensure they understand the best practices for shipping and compliance. Changes in regulations may impact international sales, and it is important for artists to be prepared.
