Uniform Registry Number (URN)
Global Vision Direct Ltd, trading as Artisan Furniture, is an established international furniture manufacturer and distributor supplying handcrafted solid wood furniture to customers across multiple markets, including the United States. The business operates through a structured global supply chain, with manufacturing undertaken by skilled artisan communities and distribution supported via authorised logistics and fulfilment partners. As part of its U.S. operations, Artisan Furniture complies with all applicable federal and state-level regulatory requirements governing the sale and distribution of furniture products.
In the United States, furniture and household goods that contain filling materials are subject to state-level law-label regulations. These regulations are designed to protect consumers by ensuring transparency regarding product composition, origin,and accountability. Compliance with these requirements is demonstrated through the use of a statutory law label, commonly referred to as the “Under Penalty of Law” label.
A key element of this compliance framework is the Uniform Registry Number (URN). The URN is a state-issued registration number assigned to the manufacturer, importer, or distributor responsible for placing the product on the U.S. market. The URN allows regulatory authorities to trace products back to the legally accountable business entity in the event of an inspection, enquiry, or compliance review, and must be clearly displayed on the law label.
Global Vision Direct Ltd trading as Artisan Furniture holds a valid California-issued Uniform Registry Number (URN), obtained through the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS). This California-issued URN is used on applicable law labels and is recognised within the Uniform Registry Number system adopted across multiple U.S. states. The URN is distinct from sales tax registration numbers, customs HS codes, and EAN or UPC product barcodes, all of which serve separate commercial or logistical functions and do not replace law-label requirements.
By maintaining a California-issued URN and applying it correctly on law labels, Artisan Furniture ensures that its products meet U.S. state law-label regulations and demonstrate full traceability and accountability. This approach reflects the company’s broader commitment to regulatory compliance, transparency,and responsible market participation across all jurisdictions in which it operates.
