Hey, I’m Alex (Alejandro), the founder of PIDReady. I’m here to help merchants with EU shipping and customs, in plain English.

The big one right now: from 1 November 2026, every product sold to an EU consumer and shipped from outside the EU (UK, US and so on) is declared to customs with up to three product identifiers: your SKU, the maker’s model or part number, and the barcode where there is one. Your carrier files the declaration, so they’ll ask you for them.

Happy to help you work out what your carrier wants and where each piece of data lives in Shopify. I share what the published rules and carrier guides say; your carrier or customs agent always has the final word.

Disclosure: I built PIDReady, a Shopify app that checks these identifiers. In line with the community rules, I only talk about it on the Ask & Offer board.
