International sellers
For sellers from countries without a dedicated local page, the same German decision tree applies: establishment, supply chain and direct supply to German end users determine the representative requirement.
مركز المعرفة →German Packaging EPR by seller country
Country-specific entry points for international businesses selling packaged products directly to customers in Germany.
Switzerland
Switzerland is outside the EU. A Swiss seller without a German establishment that sells packaged products directly to German end users falls into the German foreign-producer workflow when the statutory conditions are met.
مركز المعرفة →United Kingdom
UK sellers are third-country sellers for EU purposes. Direct-to-consumer shipments into Germany should therefore be checked before launch for German packaging registration, representative and system-participation duties.
مركز المعرفة →United States
US brands often enter Germany through their own web shops, Amazon or fulfillment partners. The compliance analysis should separate the seller, importer and fulfillment roles instead of assuming that the marketplace carries the packaging obligation.
مركز المعرفة →China
Chinese manufacturers and marketplace sellers frequently sell directly to German end users. The platform therefore keeps company identification, marketplace imports and packaging quantities in one guided workflow while the manufacturer completes its own initial LUCID registration.
مركز المعرفة →France
French businesses selling directly into Germany must assess the German EPR rules separately from their French packaging obligations.
مركز المعرفة →Italy
Italian sellers need a separate German compliance assessment for direct Germany sales; Italian packaging registrations do not replace German LUCID and EPR duties.
مركز المعرفة →Netherlands
Dutch cross-border sellers should treat Germany as a separate EPR market and determine who first makes the packaged products available to German end users.
مركز المعرفة →Poland
Polish e-commerce sellers shipping directly to German customers need a Germany-specific assessment even when they already meet Polish packaging obligations.
مركز المعرفة →Spain
Spanish sellers should assess German producer status and representative requirements independently from Spanish packaging compliance.
مركز المعرفة →Czechia
Czech sellers supplying German end users directly need a separate German EPR assessment; proximity to Germany does not merge the two national compliance systems.
مركز المعرفة →Austria
Austrian sellers need to assess German packaging EPR separately when selling directly to German end users; Austrian compliance does not replace the German LUCID/EPR workflow.
