Annual plans and setup fees

Determine the liable producer for German packaging

Direct sales from Brazil to German end users

Since 12 August 2026, qualifying foreign producers without a German establishment directly supplying empty packaging or packaged products to German end users must appoint a German authorised representative.

Exports through a German importer or distributor

Producer status depends on the legal seller, contractual structure and supply chain. Manufacturing the product in Brazil does not by itself decide the responsible party.

Registration, scheme and quantity reporting

Producer-personal LUCID steps cannot be delegated. Other lawful responsibilities may be handled under a valid appointment and statutory conditions.

Brazil's reverse logistics and German LUCID are different legal systems

Brazil · PNRS / Law 12,305/2010

Brazil's National Solid Waste Policy provides shared product life-cycle responsibility and reverse logistics. Specific duties depend on applicable product categories, packaging and supplementary rules. Decree 10,936/2022 implements PNRS and integrates reverse-logistics systems with SINIR.

Brazil · Decree 12,688/2025 on plastic packaging

The decree of 21 October 2025 establishes a dedicated reverse logistics system for plastic packaging and relevant producers, importers, retailers and distributors. Obligations and transitional periods vary; the national 2026 recovery target is 32%. Recycled content is a separate index: 22% in 2026, commencing in January for large companies and July for small and medium companies, subject to scope and legal exceptions.

EPRORA · clear cross-border service boundaries

EPRORA supports German packaging EPR and EU product-data preparation. It does not claim Brazilian SINIR reporting, government certificates or domestic take-back operations without separate verified integrations and mandates.

Brazil · glass and SINIR

Glass follows Decree 11,300/2022 with its own rules. Separate material mass and reporting. SINIR is the Brazilian system; organising EPRORA data is not an official filing or recycling certificate.

Built for small online sellers and global manufacturers

Mercado Livre, Amazon and Etsy

For sales to German end users, review the legal seller, shipping packaging, brands, materials and weight even at low volume.

Nuvemshop, VTEX, Shopify and WooCommerce

Retain existing systems; direct connectors depend on supported APIs, access rights and data fields. Structured imports are an alternative.

Footwear, fashion, cosmetics and packaged foods

Structure materials, packaging weights, provenance, brands and supply-chain records, separately from product-specific conformity obligations.

Electronics, batteries and OEM groups

Connect Product Master, Packaging Master, serials, batch and QR identities with compatible manufacturing systems.

Five practical steps to compliant records

1 · Free Selfcheck

Select sales model, materials, packaging and optional DPP count. Zero DPP units is a valid choice.

2 · Full cost visibility

Review active annual plans, one-time representative setup and external German packaging-scheme costs.

3 · Reuse existing LUCID registration

Keep the same legal entity's registration and update records. Reserved producer-only actions remain with the producer.

4 · Valid signed mandate

Legally transferable work begins after a valid contract and applicable register procedures, not merely by selecting a plan. Authorisation in LUCID becomes effective only once the representative confirms it in the register.

5 · Evidence in EPRORA Office

Keep products, packaging, channels, quantities and documentation available for reviews and reporting, subject to source-data quality.

Selfcheck displays recommended plans and applicable charges before purchase. DPP and industrial integrations remain independent optional services.

DPP · ESPR · BATTERY PASSPORT

Digital Product Passports: a second export conversion channel

A DPP is more than a QR image. Build records for product, materials, suppliers, origin, batches, serials and evidence. Legal requirements are product-category specific rather than a universal February 2027 deadline.

EU battery passport · 18 February 2027

Applies to EV batteries, light-means-of-transport batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh placed on the EU market or put into service. Identify the economic operator responsible for the finished battery.

Apparel, footwear and other products

Product-specific delegated acts and transitions determine binding timelines. No blanket February 2027 DPP deadline for all textiles, electronics or auto parts.

Product Master · QR · Production Connector

Organise packaging/product masters, suppliers, origin, batches and serial IDs with supported ERP/PIM/MES interfaces. Preparing data alone is not compliance certification.

Discuss industrial integration

Connect existing commerce and factory data only where supported

Amazon, Mercado Livre, Shopee, Magalu, Nuvemshop, VTEX, Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy and eBay are possible data sources. Never promise unsupported direct connections; check real APIs and permissions or use structured imports. Customs, taxes and product certification are separate.

Frequently asked questions

Is official LUCID registration free?

EPRORA subscriptions and third-party German packaging-scheme costs are independent of the free producer registration.

Must I buy a Digital Product Passport?

Select DPP quantity zero in Selfcheck when not needed; optional services must not be automatically added.

Does Brazil reverse logistics replace German LUCID?

Brazil's National Solid Waste Policy provides shared product life-cycle responsibility and reverse logistics. Specific duties depend on applicable product categories, packaging and supplementary rules. Decree 10,936/2022 implements PNRS and integrates reverse-logistics systems with SINIR.

Will my store connect automatically?

Amazon, Mercado Livre, Shopee, Magalu, Nuvemshop, VTEX, Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy and eBay are possible data sources. Never promise unsupported direct connections; check real APIs and permissions or use structured imports. Customs, taxes and product certification are separate.

When does the mandate become effective?

Legally transferable work begins after a valid contract and applicable register procedures, not merely by selecting a plan. Authorisation in LUCID becomes effective only once the representative confirms it in the register.

Primary regulatory sources

Packaging representation for your EU sales markets

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.

A separate mandate and annual subscription for each country

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.

Country-specific mandate documents

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.

Battery, textile and furniture product passports

EPRORA connects packaging compliance, product passports and production data. Small online shops, manufacturers and enterprise groups can organise their data in one platform.
