A Closer Look at How We Work

Before you waste money on trade fairs, certifications, or international shipping… get the truth.

Export Reality Check is a fast, no-fluff service for small producers who want to know: "Is my product ready for Europe — or am I wasting time and money?"

What you send:

Your contact details
Your product description
Photo(s) of your product, labelling and packing
Your goals and timelines (Where do you want to sell, and by when?)

For €250, you’ll get:

A full review of your product, label, pricing, and packaging
A check against EU importer expectations and legal requirements
A 45-minute live call (Zoom or WhatsApp)
A follow-up summary with clear action steps

You’ll know:

What’s working
What’s broken
Whether you’re ready — or still in fantasy mode
If your product meets the expectations of real EU importers — or needs more work

“You can hire a big export consultancy. Pay thousands. Wait weeks. Or you can send us your product today, and get a brutal, honest reality check in 48 hours — for €250.”

What Makes ERC Different

We don’t just check boxes — we see what importers will see. Every review is done with a buyer’s mindset. We look at your product like a gatekeeper would: is it compliant, clear, trustworthy, and worth the risk? That’s the real test — not whether you filled out some form. You’re not hiring a consultant. You’re hiring a filter.

Things Nobody Tells You Until It’s Too Late

70–80% of new food & drink export attempts to the EU fail in the first 12 months.
Why? Label issues, price gaps, wrong partners, or simply not understanding how hard it actually is.
A non-compliant label can get your entire shipment rejected at the border — no refund, no second chance.
Most producers find out the hard way.
“Organic,” “handmade,” or “authentic” mean nothing in EU law unless you prove it — with documentation.
Great story ≠ legal access.
In Spain, Germany, and France, importers often reject products before even tasting them — just by looking at the label.
First impressions are compliance, not flavor.
Most small producers don’t know their own “landing cost” — they price too low and lose money on every order.
It’s not about markup — it’s about margin after taxes, duties, freight, and relabeling.
A single undeclared allergen or mistranslation can trigger legal fines or a full recall.
“Peanuts” in Spanish isn’t “cacahuetes” in every country.
The EU has 24 official languages — English is not enough.
Labels must be in the language of each country you want to sell in.
