ISRAEL → GERMANY / EUROPEAN UNION

Israeli exports to Germany: determining packaging producer liability

Importer contracts, brand ownership and delivery terms matter for identifying the liable producer.

Direct-to-consumer versus German distributor

Start with the commercial and physical transaction: contractual seller, consignee, German importer and the first party placing goods on the German market.

German branch and representation

The appointment duty applies to qualifying foreign producers; a genuine German branch or intermediary structure can change the analysis. Review actual agreements rather than assuming an exemption.

Keep evidence

Maintain supply contracts, orders, invoices, SKUs and packaging specifications so the legal decision can be supported by a single auditable data record.

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.
