EU packaging EPR authorised representative: start with the country-specific obligation

There is no single EU-wide packaging representative mandate that automatically replaces every Member State obligation. For Germany, foreign producers without an establishment in Germany that sell directly to end users can be subject to a German EPR authorised-representative requirement. EPRORA combines the German mandate workflow with LUCID status, commerce integrations, packaging data and evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Can one packaging EPR representative cover the whole EU?

Not as a universal substitute for all national obligations. Packaging EPR implementation, registration and representation must be assessed for each target Member State.

Can EPRORA register the producer in LUCID?

The producer must complete the registration steps that German law reserves to the producer. EPRORA supports the surrounding workflow, mandate, status and ongoing compliance.

Is marketplace compliance status enough?

No. A marketplace status is not a substitute for the underlying legal registration, representative, scheme participation or reporting obligations.

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.
