### FAQs (additions)

**What’s the difference between my Business and a Legal Entity?**\
Your Business is your TradeAware account. A Legal Entity is a registered record (name, address, EORI/VAT) that can file a DDS in TRACES. One business can contain multiple legal entities.

**Why do I need a Legal Entity on a transaction?**\
TRACES requires the exact legal entity responsible for the filing so the correct name, address, and EORI/VAT appear on the DDS. Each transaction must specify one legal entity (the DDS primary actor).

**Do I need a separate supplier list per legal entity?**\
No. Suppliers and transactions are shared at account level. You simply choose the filing **legal entity** per transaction.
