A worked example
From a Shopify export to a useful supplier question.
Illustrative data, not a real customer result or a customs decision.
Shopify's export has no column made for the maker's code.
An unanswered code is a question to resolve. The checker cannot invent or authenticate a code.

How it works
- Export your products from Shopify (Products → Export → CSV).
- Open the checker and choose the file. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
- Work the list: fix blank SKUs and bad barcodes yourself, send the supplier question sheet for the maker's codes, record each confirmed value.

Why product identifiers matter for EU shipments
For the distance-sale imports covered by the rule, the customs data calls for a merchant product identifier, a maker or supplier identifier, and a standardised identifier where one exists. Scope and exceptions need case-by-case review.
| Code | Customs name | Where it usually lives in Shopify | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your product code | Merchant product identifier (M-PID) | Variant SKU | Yes |
| Maker's / supplier's code | Non-standardised manufacturer product identifier (NS-PID) | No standard column — you must collect it | Yes |
| Barcode | Standardised manufacturer product identifier (S-PID: GTIN, EAN, UPC, ISBN) | Variant Barcodes (Barcodes in Shopify's help page; older exports: Variant Barcode or Barcode) | Where one exists |
