# Redirecting QR Codes for Global Compliance

E-labels designed for the European Union are not legal in countries like the US, Australia, or Brazil.
By default, Bottlebooks issues a warning to customers scanning from those locations, but you can also choose to redirect them to a different page, such as your website or another E-label.

# Setting Target Countries

Before you redirect, it is important to note that, while you're first setting up the QR Code, you will be asked the countries you wish to have the e-label displayed in. It should be any country to market or sell your products.

| As almost all fields in Bottlebooks are translated, we recommend picking all the European Union.


# Redirect outside of the EU - global

You will then see the quick option to redirect outside of the EU.

Add the web address to where people should be redirected. Your global website is a good choice, but you can also enter a product specific link.

# More Options - per country

Once you have created the E-label, you can go back to the e-label and fine tune the options setting redirects per country.
1. Open the E-Label you wish to edit.
2. Click on **More Redirect Settings**.
