How can I make sure I am not infringing copyrights when selling items online?

I have a shop in an eCommerce store, I have a trade license under General Trading here in the UAE that allows me to sell, buy, export... etc. products.

I got an email from the store asking me to sign an attestation regarding all of my products for branded and copyrighted items. I sell Korean products that I buy from the source and sometimes from smaller shops that were able to get the products before me.

Among the products that they gave me as examples were a shirt and pants-inspired outfit from a well-known Korean show. This was handmade by a small business in Korea.

The show did not to my knowledge (even after research) sell such merch. I know that if someone sold a fake item that the brand sold it means they are infringing the copyright, but I am still unsure of the item mentioned above and if what I think is correct.

These are the policies as per the company. You have to speak with them in regard to the patent and trademark issue, with each category of item, which is sold with the source details and the buying receipts.
