WHO
Ops leads at non-EU DTC / dropship brands selling physical goods into the EU on Shopify (or similar), already on or preparing duties / IOSS / Managed Markets, with steady monthly EU shipments.
PIDReady · Waitlist
Audit Shopify variants for missing M-PID / NS-PID / S-PID (or Y081), HS, and origin. Collect supplier IDs, block wrong granularity, score readiness against the 1 Nov 2026 deadline, then write metafields or export customs-ready fields to your 3PL. Not a customs broker — a catalog readiness layer Managed Markets doesn't cover.

Problem
€3 duty has applied since 2026-07-01; Product Identifiers were voluntary then and become mandatory on 2026-11-01. Most catalogs only have internal SKUs — missing supplier model numbers / EANs aligned to variant granularity. Managed Markets collects the fee; it doesn’t make your catalog PID-ready.
Solution
A catalog readiness layer for non-EU Shopify DTC: audit → supplier collect → variant consistency → export — not another duty calculator or customs broker.
Ops leads at non-EU DTC / dropship brands selling physical goods into the EU on Shopify (or similar), already on or preparing duties / IOSS / Managed Markets, with steady monthly EU shipments.
Shopify catalogs usually only have internal SKUs. EU M/NS/S-PID (C127/C128/C129 or Y081) at variant granularity isn’t ready — Managed Markets collects €3 but doesn’t cover supplier ID collection or catalog audit.
Shopify App scans catalog → flags missing M/NS/S-PID (or Y081), HS, origin → supplier invite forms / CSV → granularity guardrails → readiness score + 1 Nov countdown → write metafields or export to 3PL.
Variant-level PID readiness score and customs-ready fields before 1 Nov 2026 — not after customs holds your parcels.
Features
Marketing points from the product hypothesis — for demand validation, not a formal spec promise.
Scan the catalog for missing M-PID / NS-PID / S-PID (or Y081), HS, and country of origin — aligned to C127/C128/C129/Y081 semantics, not just internal SKUs.
Generate invite forms or CSV templates so manufacturers/suppliers fill NS-PID / S-PID — stop chasing IDs in chat.
Block wrong color/size sharing or serial-level over-specificity so IDs match variant grain.
Actionable score and deadline countdown so Ops knows which SKUs to fix first — not on 1 Nov morning.
MVP: single Shopify store + CSV; write metafields or export customs/carrier-ready fields. Explicitly not a customs broker.
How it works
A three-step loop matching the waitlist-stage product hypothesis.
Flag missing M/NS/S-PID (or Y081), HS, and origin — at variant granularity.
Invite forms or CSV templates; block wrong granularity and conflicting IDs.
Readiness score + 1 Nov countdown; write metafields or export to your 3PL — not a customs broker.
Use cases
If these situations sound familiar, join the waitlist to help us validate.
You need a variant-level gap list and supplier collect flow, not another invoice app.
Each supplier formats IDs differently; unify into Shopify and block grain mistakes.
Ops is drowning in Excel fills — need customs-ready export fields.
Use readiness score to batch high-traffic variants before the mandate.
You want a thin Shopify + CSV readiness layer, not a full master-data project.
Public signals
Public reporting and industry discussion only — not customer testimonials or invented metrics.
FAQ
Those calculate and collect the €3 fee. We focus on catalog PID readiness — audit, supplier collect, granularity, export.
Invoices cover documentation. We cover variant-level identity master data and supplier collection workflows.
No. MVP is a single Shopify store + CSV readiness layer — not brokerage or filing.
Three product identifier types defined in EU rules, plus TARIC document codes for declarations; use Y081 when no standardised ID exists (see public Commission / Delegated Reg sources).
Single Shopify store + CSV. Multi-store ERP and customs brokerage are out of day-one scope.
