A foreign company without a German establishment directly supplying empty packaging or packaged goods to German end users must assess the German authorised-representative requirement. A signed German mandate and confirmed LUCID appointment are required; subscribing alone does not complete representation.

New Zealand lists plastic packaging among six priority product streams under the Waste Minimisation Act. The official page describes plastic-packaging scheme development; priority designation alone does not establish a universal packaging fee or commencement date. German EPR and EU product-passport duties require separate destination-market assessment.
