THE METHOD · SUPPLIER VIEW

From "what do they want from us?" to a document that passes.

Four questions, answered in order, each grounded in the legal text. Here is the whole journey for a supplier selling into the EU — using a Turkish steel exporter as the running example.

PROFILE

Tell us what you make and who buys it.

Country, sector, products, processes, and where your EU customers sit. Five short screens, under three minutes, no account. This profile is the input for everything that follows.

EXHIBIT · PROFILE (EXCERPT)

COUNTRYTürkiye — Aliağa, İzmir

MAKESHot-rolled coil, galvanised sheet (CN 7208, 7210)

SELLS TOSteel service centres in DE, IT; one automotive tier-1

EXPOSURE

See which rules reach you — directly and through your buyers.

Each product line is mapped against the nine-regulation register. Some rules bind you in law; others reach you contractually, because your buyer cannot comply without you. Both kinds are shown, with the article that creates them.

EXHIBIT · EXPOSURE MAP (EXCERPT)

CBAMReaches you via every EU buyer — Art. 35 data duty

REACHArt. 33 SVHC disclosure on coated products

EUDRNot applicable — no in-scope commodities

DEMANDS

Read what each rule actually asks of you.

Per regulation: the official artifact, its required elements, the deadline, and who will ask for it. Written in plain language, cited to the legal text — in your language, not just the law's.
