Check whether the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) applies to a specific physical product sold into the EU, and which technical documentation is required. Answers the question "does GPSR apply to my product and what do I need?" for sellers on Amazon, Etsy, Shopify and other marketplaces. Requires four facts about the product that only the seller knows, so it produces a real per-product answer rather than general guidance.
