A while ago, Nintendolife posted an article where it was stated how IARC was coming soon to the eShop, specifically in this extract

Now, it seems it's already working, as testified by two indie developers.

And how it works
The Nintendo eShop joins Google Play and Firefox Marketplace as digital stores adopting the international standard. Both Xbox Live Store and Playstation Store will adopt it in the future.

Already available on Google Play and the Firefox Marketplace, its arrival on the eShop seems to be around the corner. Renegade Kid's Jools Watsham has told us that when looking into obtaining ratings for Dementium Remastered he was advised by his source that the IARC system is coming "very soon"; it was suggested that he hold fire and rate the game for Europe through the new system. That leads to an optimistic assumption that it's a matter of weeks, not months for this to kick in.
It's worth recognising that this could be a hugely important development for small Indie developers, reducing some cost and time constraints in bringing their games to more markets. Hopefully more download titles will arrive across all territories once this rating system goes live.
