Overview
- Product Safety & Regulatory Compliance
- Own compliance with the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) across all product lines sold into EU markets
- Own compliance with UK-specific requirements, most critically the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations — covering fire-retardant treatment of foam fillings, permanent fire safety labelling, and match/cigarette resistance testing for upholstered items including cushions
- Manage the compliance gap between EU and UK requirements for upholstered goods, since fire safety standards for foam and fabric differ meaningfully between the two regimes
- Coordinate directly with Asia-based factories to ensure cushion filling, foam, and fabric composition meet destination-market requirements before shipment, rather than discovering gaps at the European warehouse or point of sale
- Own REACH compliance (chemical substances in foam, textiles, and treatments) and any applicable EU textile labelling requirements
- Manage CE marking / UKCA marking requirements where applicable to specific product categories
- Coordinate recall or corrective action processes for any product safety issues identified in-market
- Customs & Trade Compliance
- Manage the customs mechanics of receiving stock from Vietnam and redistributing across EU member states and the UK as separate customs/VAT territories
- Maintain correct tariff classification, country-of-origin documentation, and import paperwork for both EU and UK-bound shipments
- Support the compliance obligations of Harbour's EU contracting entity for EU/UK sales
- Monitor regulatory developments affecting furniture imports into the EU and UK (tariffs, safety standard updates, customs rule changes)
- Supplier & Supply Chain Compliance
- Work directly with Asia factory partners to build compliance requirements (fire safety treatment, chemical compliance, labelling) into production specifications upfront
- Establish a pre-shipment compliance checklist for upholstered/soft-fill items specifically, given this is the current area of exposure
- Maintain documentation (test certificates, material declarations) in an audit-ready state for both EU and UK authorities
- Cross-Functional
- Act as the internal point of contact for EU/UK compliance questions across sales, operations, and the European warehouse team
- Prepare periodic compliance risk briefings for the COO, with particular attention to the cushion/upholstery fire safety gap until resolved
- Recommend process and specification changes to close current compliance gaps on Asia-sourced soft furnishings
- Required
- 3+ years of experience in product compliance, ideally covering furniture, upholstered goods, textiles, or consumer soft-fill products
- Working knowledge of UK Furniture and Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations and EU GPSR
- Familiarity with REACH and EU chemical/textile compliance requirements
- Understanding of EU/UK customs mechanics post-Brexit
- Strong documentation and cross-border coordination skills, comfortable working closely with Asia-based factory contacts
- Preferred
- Direct experience with foam/upholstery fire safety testing and certification processes
- Experience working with an EU holding entity structure
- Fluency in English required; additional European language a plus
- Background in furniture, home goods, or textiles specifically (versus general consumer goods)
- Kinh nghiệm: 5 Năm
