Official redress

Real redress, in order

Three steps, to be climbed in this order: the first pins the practice down in writing, the other two send it upwards.

Law as verified onJuly 29, 2026

File EU 2018/302

  1. The trader, in writing

    As soon as it happens

    Describe the blocking precisely: redirection without consent, offer refused despite pick-up inside their zone, payment rejected for its country of issue. Cite Regulation (EU) 2018/302 and the article concerned, attach the screenshots, and ask for the correction.

  2. The European Consumer Centre of your country

    If the trader stands firm

    For a dispute with a trader established in another Union country, the European Consumer Centres Network provides the practical assistance the Regulation provides for: analysis of the file, contact with the trader, referral to the competent body.

  3. The national bodies in charge of geo-blocking

    To stop the practice

    Each Member State has designated its enforcement and assistance bodies for this Regulation. The European Commission publishes their list, country by country: that is where a persistent practice gets reported, with your exhibits.

What follows a report is a matter for the national bodies and their procedures: this site presents only the European baseline shared by the twenty-seven.
