EPR Compliance Requirements for European Countries in 2024
Starting January 1, 2022, European countries are gradually implementing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance requirements. Below is the EPR compliance information for 2024 for Germany, France, Austria and Spain:
Germany and Austria:
- The platform does not support the withholding and payment of environmental protection fees on behalf of merchants, who are required to declare and renew the fees on their own.
- Ensure that the EPR number is valid and prevent it from affecting merchandising.
Spain and France:
- Some categories support platform withholding and some categories require merchants to file their own returns.
- Merchants can choose the self-declaration model and provide EPR enrollment information.
Caveats:
- The Platform reserves the right to block non-compliant goods.
- Please complete the previous year's filing and the new year's renewal in a timely manner to ensure the normal sale of merchandise.
