UK Makers Selling to the EU & Northern Ireland Under GPSR

Why Great Britain sellers are treated as non-EU manufacturers under GPSR—and exact labeling steps for EU & BT postcodes.

1. Great Britain vs. Northern Ireland & EU27

  • Under the Windsor Framework, EU GPSR applies both to all 27 EU member states AND to Northern Ireland (BT postcodes).
  • Makers in England, Scotland, and Wales shipping to the EU or NI must appoint an EU/NI-based Responsible Person and print both addresses on packaging.

2. Formatting Dual UK + EU Operator Labels

  • Untick 'Manufacturer is inside the EU' in NormaTag Studio to display your UK workshop on the left and your EU/NI Responsible Person on the right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Northern Ireland Responsible Person cover the rest of the EU?

Verify your authorised representative's agreement terms; most commercial EU Responsible Person services establish an address in Ireland, Germany, or the Netherlands covering both EU27 and NI.
