EU market entry for US e-commerce brands
Your products are ready for Europe. Your listings aren't.
We turn your Amazon and Shopify catalog into native German, French, Italian and Spanish listings, add the EU safety texts marketplaces require, and show you where the competition is. Upload-ready in 5 business days, entirely by email.
No calls, no meetings. Send us a link and get your audit by email.
Why US brands stall in Europe
Three things stop most launches
Listings that don't rank
Machine translation keeps inches, US phrasing and the wrong keywords. European shoppers don't search that way, so the listing never shows up.
EU rules nobody explained
Since December 2024, the GPSR requires an EU contact and local-language safety information for products sold in the EU. Packaging and VAT registrations come on top.
Returns that kill margins
Shipping every EU order across the Atlantic makes the 14-day right of withdrawal expensive. The fix is EU stock – and a plan to get there.
Services

You keep running the business. We prepare the European version of your catalog and tell you exactly what's left to do.
