EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) Compliance Support<\/h1>\n

EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) requires businesses shipping packaging, electrical & electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries, textiles, and other products to the EU\/UK markets to complete registration, recycling-fee declarations, and annual reporting<\/strong> with the authorities in each country. Registration bodies and fee systems differ by country; without registration you may be unable to list on marketplaces such as Amazon, or face penalties. Order the products and countries you need directly from the cart below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

The above are indicative annual prices (excl. tax) for typical products. Prices may vary with your products and sales volume; if so, we will adjust the invoice after purchase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
If you sell consumer products cross-border<\/strong><\/p>\n

Separate from EPR (environmental compliance), the GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation)<\/strong> may require you to appoint an EU-based Responsible Person.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
