How AnswerableEU works, step by step — and exactly where its boundary sits.

How it works

1

Send your SKU list + supplier details (15-min intake).

2

We run the 8-point PLD readiness check and map who is liable for each SKU.

3

You get a gap report (Audit) or the full evidence pack (Pack): supplier evidence index, disclosure-response playbook, listing fixes, and a dated readiness score.

The boundaryAnswerableEU is a readiness and document service. It is not legal advice, not a law firm, and not an EU authorised representative — we never hold ourselves out as your EU entity. Where you need one, the Pack includes a vetted-provider shortlist and the exact questions to ask (typical market price €150–€500/yr, paid by you directly to the provider).

FAQ

Does this apply to products I already sell?

Only products placed on the market on or after 9 December 2026 fall under the new directive; earlier stock stays under the 1985 rules — the Audit separates the two.

I only dropship — am I exposed?

Yes, more than most: the customer-facing seller is the first stop, and a non-EU supplier with no EU entity is exactly the gap the directive closes.

Is GPSR the same thing?

No — GPSR (since Dec 2024) is about keeping unsafe products off the market; the PLD is about who pays when a defective product causes harm. We check the PLD chain; the Pack flags obvious GPSR responsible-person gaps too.
