The European Union is requiring all businesses outside of Europe to have a EU representative to handle most business matters and disclosure all information of manufactured exports for its member states. Since this business is a sole-properitorship, I do not have any representatives other than me for my small business. As of now, no words as to whether Etsy would provide a representative for artisians who take international orders.
As this change will affect most of my items, i.e. keychains, totes, I can not claim the making of it since the manufacturers for these items are overseas and I am unclear if they are EU complaint. Therefore, I will not offer any shipments to EU. It is very unfortunate but until solution is found, it will remain this way.
12/10 update - BigCartel has given users the ability to add the exclusion of non EU countries for shipping. This storefront mostly handles US-based shipments but could change. Have not heard anything regarding Etsy. As for Ko-fi, I would have to manually exclude that or suspend the shop there until everything is sorted out.
12/18 update - Canada post has started operations again. Shipping to Canada will be delayed due to a backlog of shipments made during the strike.
Thank you.
