  3. 3Connect without a second master

Small business

You hold more than you think.

  1. 1What to check first
  2. 2Facts you can verify yourself
  3. 3Product data without a PIM

Seller or importer

The platform or the buyer asks before the law does.

  1. 1Who carries the obligation
  2. 2What a retailer actually asks for
  3. 3Evidence to get from the manufacturer

Supplier or maker

Your evidence is what the brand will need.
