New blog post. I have quite a few posts written and ready, but all waiting on one things or another, so this is an update on the international shipping situation and the best way to order from me. blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2026/08/upda... (sorry, if it's a bit ranty and a wee bit political)

We’ve stopped shipping to EU and USA because we can’t figure it out. Seems in EU now you have to have a representative in each country to be fully compliant?

My understanding is that existing legacy products may not be required to meet the full set of regulatory requirements, but new ones are captured. You can also have a single EU representative, and there are companies that offer this as a service for a fee.

I’m reading one per country, ahead of time, regardless what you sell. Nobody seems 100% confident, even the responsible officials 🤦‍♂️

Not true, I think. A company like Comply EU charges £36 a month to cover all 27 countries: complyeu.com This is not an endorsement, there are a number of "EU Authorised Representative service" providers who offer similar products.

No way I can comply with representation in 27 countries at my scale. It hasn't affected me yet, nor has the €3 charge. I am just trying to keep going as long as I can, dealing with the immediate problems as they occur. Maybe one of the marketplaces will step up to the mark and provide a solution?
