EPR registration for import

Extended Producer Responsibility makes manufacturers manage their product waste. Every EU country tightened these rules from late 2022. There’s no minimum threshold — selling one unit is enough to trigger it.

Non-resident sellers can complete EPR registration for import through local representation. This keeps marketplace onboarding smooth and avoids compliance holds. See our authorised representative service for the full setup.

Who must comply with EPR

EPR registration photo 3

Legislative acts of all countries stipulate that all producers must comply with these rules. What does a producer do?

Producers are defined as companies or individuals who first introduce a product subject to the EPR program in a given country. This can be through domestic production or imports. It is important to understand that being a producer does not necessarily mean being a manufacturer.

Frequently asked questions

I see that Amazon indicates that my EPR category is "primary packaging". Needs LUCID number, not EPR agreement

Primary packaging is a material used to protect the product. When you as a seller ship your goods to amazon each item might be somehow packed – for example shampoo in plastic bottles, earings in boxes etc. Both FBA sellers and self-fulfilled sellers need to be compliant with primary packaging. An example of primary packaging for fragrances – is a perfume box. Secondary packaging is shipping packaging. This includes a plastic mail envelope, box, or bag used to protect the product during postal delivery to the customer.

I’m an online seller and sell through my website to customers in Germany. What type of data to collect to be able to fill EPR report.

You need to collect type of package, quantity for bottles, weight for carton and plastic.

I sell computers through eBay in France. In which EPR category do I need to register

The specific EPR category for selling computers through eBay in France depends on the type of computers you sell. However, in general, because the device contains a rechargeable battery, you need to register in three categories: Packaging, Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE), and Batteries.

Selling computers on eBay in France falls under EPR France registration.
Register for three streams: Packaging, Electrical and Electronic Equipment, and Batteries.

 

We are selling refurbished electric scooters and e-bikes in France and Spain. Which EPR categories will be required

Because the device contains a rechargeable battery, you will need to get EPR registered in the following categories: Packaging, Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE), and Batteries.

I sell products on Amazon from Germany to Spain. Do I need to obtain a Spanish NIF tax number to obtain an EPR number? Also, if I receive this NIF number, do I have to submit any reports?

If you are selling on Amazon and need an EPR number, it is indeed necessary to obtain a Spanish NIF (Número de Identificación Fiscal) tax number. The fee for obtaining a NIF is €150. Additionally, it’s important to note that if you already possess a VAT (Value Added Tax) number, this indicates that you have a NIF. Therefore, in this scenario, you do not need to obtain a separate NIF. Please remember, if you have a VAT number and are conducting business across EU borders (for example, shipping products from Germany to Spain), you are typically required to make VAT reports. Lappa software has integration with Amazon, which allows you to automatically create and send reports on EPR and VAT.
