German Packaging EPR · Taiwan

German EPR authorised representative for Taiwan companies

Since 12 August 2026, a foreign company without a German establishment that sells empty packaging or packaged products directly to German end users without an intermediary retailer must appoint a German authorised representative. Producer registration in LUCID remains the producer’s own personal duty.

What EPRORA handles

EPRORA organises the German mandate, transferable EPR duties, status and evidence trail. The producer-only LUCID registration stays with the Taiwan company.

Keep an existing LUCID registration

Already registered Taiwan producers normally update the existing producer record and add the representative where required.

MORE THAN PACKAGING EPR

Digital Product Passports, serial numbers, QR codes and production integration

EPRORA can extend the same product and packaging data into Digital Product Passports, serial-number and QR-code product identity, supported marketplace/shop workflows and Production Connector integration for production or enterprise systems.

Frequently asked questions

Is official LUCID registration free?

Yes. Producer registration and ZSVR data reporting are free of charge. Dual-system, representative and private service costs are separate.

Can a Taiwan company reuse an existing LUCID number?

Yes. The existing producer registration should normally be retained and updated rather than duplicated.

Do VAT, customs, EORI or logistics replace German packaging EPR?

No. Tax, customs, logistics and packaging producer responsibility are separate compliance layers.

Can existing Amazon, Shopify, Etsy or eBay accounts remain in place?

Yes. EPRORA adds the German compliance and data layer around supported existing commerce channels.

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.
