EPRORA service starts at CHF 59 per year. A new German mandate costs CHF 29 once: from CHF 88 in first-year service fees in the appropriate entry plan. Official LUCID registration and ZSVR reporting cost CHF 0. External system participation based on material, weight and tariff, any applicable taxes and selected extras are separate. System fees follow the disclosed prepayment process; a pending system quotation does not mean a zero fee. Contract and invoice are in Swiss francs, not euros. A packaging-only case does not require a product-passport subscription.
An Austrian manufacturer is already established in the EU. Selling to Germany alone does not automatically require an additional German GPSR representative. For imported goods, manufacturer, importer and any representative roles must be assessed separately. Product identification, safety information and required documentation still matter. A German packaging mandate does not replace product duties or separate electrical-equipment and battery registrations. Ordinary Union goods in free circulation do not become a third-country import merely by crossing from Austria to Germany. Tax advice, shipping and returns remain separate costs. EPRORA does not guarantee immediate marketplace reinstatement or complete product compliance through a packaging subscription.

Reviewed:
Start with the products and packaging actually shipped. An Etsy shop, eBay business or small independent store can prepare the same core records without an enterprise IT project. Use the self-check to identify the relevant next step, not to assume that every service is required.
Manufacturers can connect product specifications, supplier evidence, batches, serial numbers and QR identifiers to a Digital Product Passport workflow. DPP scope and mandatory dates depend on the product category; voluntary preparation is not a claim that every product already needs a passport.
Explore the platformOne-time setup for a new German mandate: CHF 29.
Plus applicable VAT; system participation and selected add-ons are separate.
Separate free official LUCID registration, any required system participation and EPRORA service fees. Review the current price, included services, any setup fee, renewal and cancellation terms before subscribing. No purchase should be based on an assumed all-inclusive licence.
Check requirements →Use the self-check to record the EU countries you sell to. Then explicitly choose each supported country for which you wish to appoint EPRORA. Selecting a sales destination does not itself grant a mandate.
Each newly appointed country has its own applicable annual subscription and one-time mandate setup fee. Regular annual renewal does not repeat the setup fee. The self-check shows the country-by-country charges, first-year total and subsequent annual fees. Applicable VAT and third-party costs are itemised separately.
A country rules and monitoring package does not replace representation or the annual subscription for another country. Additional services are shown separately from the mandate.
Each appointed country has its own mandate documents. Review the details, complete any blank fields and sign the relevant documents. Generating a document or making a payment alone does not activate the mandate.
A German LUCID registration or a German mandate does not replace a separate appointment for other sales markets. Existing registrations and packaging scheme agreements are taken into account when processing your appointment.
EPRORA connects packaging compliance, product passports and production data. Small online shops, manufacturers and enterprise groups can organise their data in one platform.
