New customs requirements for EU shipments
As we will need to include a Product SKU and a Non-standardised Manufacturer ID for every item from the 1st November it would be nice if it were possible to include "Manufacturer ID" in the import file. ATM it is only possible to include "SKU" in the file, meaning we will have to manually add "Manufacturer ID" 1 at a time for hundreds of products.

Hi
When I export my products I get the following fields:"Product number" "Name Identifier (SKU)" "Created date" "Weight in kg" "Price" Domestic package size" "International package size" "Stock location" "Customs code" "Customs description" "Country of origin" "Requires review"
There is no "Reference ID" field
I look forward to the "Standardised Manufacture ID" field being added as we can then easily map the EAN for each of our products to the SKU

Hi Steve,
Yes, you will be able to submit the Manufacturers ID ahead of the 1st November change. There are two types of Manufacture ID and you will be able to map both of these on the import file:
- Non-Standardised Manufacture ID: This will use the current "Reference ID" field on the import file
- Standardised Manufacture ID: This will be a new field to submit a Standardised Manufacturer ID, such as an ISBN, GTIN, or EANThe new field is not available yet, but we will update you as soon as it is. This will be before the 1st November change. The Item SKU field is available now, as you have pointed out, and will become mandatory for certain shipments to the EU from 1st November 2026.
Should you have any questions about the upcoming changes, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards
