Selling packaged products to Germany or the EU?

Direct sales from Israel to German consumers

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

Exports through a German importer or retailer

Actual obligations depend on contracting, supply-chain structure and who places packaging on the German market. An Israeli exporter is not necessarily the legally responsible producer in every arrangement.

LUCID registration, packaging scheme and reporting

Producer-personal registration steps remain with the producer. Legally transferable tasks can be delegated after a valid appointment.

Israel · Packaging Treatment Law 2011

Israel has binding EPR packaging obligations for covered producers and importers, including recycling and funding of packaging waste. Determine applicable materials, reporting and authorised-body contracting under Israeli law.

Tamir · recognised packaging recycling body

The Israeli Environment Ministry's published recognition covers Tamir until 30 November 2026. Confirm renewal and applicable rates for subsequent periods. A Tamir contract is not a German LUCID record.

EPRORA · clearly defined cross-border service

EPRORA organises German packaging EPR and EU product-data readiness. It does not claim to submit government filings in Israel or contract with Tamir on a customer's behalf without a separately authorised arrangement.

Etsy, eBay, Amazon and Shopify merchants

Small seller status alone is no exemption when goods with packaging are delivered directly to German end users.

Wix, WooCommerce and own online stores

Keep your store and catalogue. Direct integrations depend on supported APIs and permissions; structured imports may be used where a connector is unavailable.

Electronics, IoT and battery technology

Prepare materials, component origin, supplier, batch, serial and evidence records for EU buyers without inventing a blanket DPP requirement.

Export manufacturers and industrial groups

Organise product and packaging master data across brands, legal entities, factories and export markets with appropriate access controls.

1 · Free Selfcheck

Select your sales model, packaging characteristics and optional DPP count. Zero passports is a valid choice.

2 · Review prices before checkout

See current annual plans, one-time mandate setup and external operator costs separately.

3 · Reuse existing LUCID data

Retain records for the same legal entity and personally complete producer-only register actions.

4 · Sign a valid mandate

Lawfully delegated work starts after the appropriate written agreement and required authorisation, not simply after clicking a button.

5 · Maintain evidence in Office

Organise channel, packaging and product records for controlled reporting. Automation is limited by verified data quality and integration support.
