A note to EU customers

On December 13th 2024 the European Commission fully implemented Regulation (EU) 2023/988, more commonly known as the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). In addition to requirements regarding safety labeling and risk assessment, the law also requires that all businesses marketing products in the EU must appoint an authorized representative located in the EU. JDwoodwinds is and always has been committed to manufacturing safe and durable products and strives to comply with safety requirements, however as a small independent business located in the USA we do not have the resources to hire an authorized representative in the EU due to the limited number of sales we make to Europe. While some businesses have chosen to ignore the new regulation, we at JDwoodwinds are committed to following domestic and international laws/regulations. Because of this we have made the difficult decision to halt all sales to the EU and Northern Ireland until further notice. We urge our friends in the EU to talk to their representatives and push back against this requirement of this regulation which unfairly favors large companies over small independent makers.
