## Direct answer
A Canadian company selling packaged products into Germany can trigger German packaging EPR obligations even when the legal entity, warehouse, provincial EPR programmes and commerce stack remain in Canada. Determine the actual producer role, any German establishment or intermediary, LUCID, system participation, reporting and the German authorised representative where required.

Une entreprise canadienne qui vend des produits emballés en Allemagne peut être soumise à la REP allemande même si sa personne morale, son entrepôt, ses programmes REP provinciaux et ses systèmes restent au Canada. Il faut déterminer le rôle de producteur réel, tout établissement ou intermédiaire allemand, LUCID, la participation au système, les déclarations et le mandataire lorsque requis.

## Canada EPR layer
- Canada has provincial packaging-EPR frameworks rather than one universal Germany-compatible account.
- Ontario Blue Box is fully producer-run from January 1, 2026.
- Québec’s modernized curbside system operates under EPR through Éco Entreprises Québec.
- British Columbia operates provincial EPR through Recycle BC.
- Canadian EPR status does not replace German destination-market packaging compliance.
