EPR Registration
Hungary

Hungary is supplied through Amazon's Pan-EU programme (primarily Amazon.de), so shipping stock to Hungarian buyers creates a Hungarian EPR obligation. Since 2023 Hungary runs a single concession model: producers register with the National Waste Management Authority (NWMA / OHKT) and all collection flows through the state concession holder MOHU.

What You Must Register in Hungary

WEEE EPR in Hungary is mandatory under the 2023 extended-producer-responsibility reform (Government Decree 80/2023), which made MOHU the single national concession holder for all waste streams. Producers placing electronics, batteries or packaging on the Hungarian market must register with the National Waste Management Authority (NWMA) and pay the EPR fee through MOHU. EPR registration in Hungary costs £740 for Packaging, £790 for WEEE and £655 for Battery with Eldris — a one-off annual fee, never monthly. Pan-EU Amazon sellers whose stock reaches Hungarian customers carry the obligation directly; without an NWMA registration, Hungarian fulfilment is non-compliant. Eldris determines which streams your products trigger and files each under the MOHU regime.

02

The NWMA Register as Your Hungarian EPR Identity

Hungary centralises producer registration with the National Waste Management Authority (NWMA, Hungarian acronym OHKT). Registration places your products into the correct KF (product) codes and triggers the EPR fee charged through MOHU, the state concession company that operates collection nationwide.

A Hungarian NWMA registration is country-specific and cannot be replaced by an Austrian, German or any other EU number. Eldris secures the NWMA registration, assigns the KF codes, sets up the MOHU account, and delivers the confirmation formatted for Amazon Seller Central upload.

03

What Makes Hungary Different

Single state concession (MOHU): since 1 July 2023 Hungary has had no competing collective schemes — MOHU (MOL Hulladékgazdálkodási Zrt.) holds the exclusive concession, so every producer's EPR fee flows through one state-appointed operator rather than a chosen PRO.

EPR fee plus environmental product fee: Hungary historically charged a separate környezetvédelmi termékdíj (environmental product fee); the new EPR fee sits alongside the registration, and both must be administered correctly to stay compliant.

KF code classification: products are mapped to Hungarian KF codes that determine the fee rate. Hungarian WEEE sits at £790 and Battery at £655 one-off per year with Eldris, including the Authorised Representative.

04

Hungarian Reporting Cycles and Deadlines

Hungarian EPR reporting is quarterly. Producers declare the quantities and weight of electronics, batteries and packaging placed on the Hungarian market each quarter to the NWMA, and MOHU invoices the EPR fee from those declared masses.

Eldris prepares the Hungarian quarterly declarations from your sales data, files them to the NWMA, reconciles the MOHU fee, and confirms receipt — so a missed Hungarian return never escalates into a Pan-EU compliance flag against your Amazon account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the fee annual or monthly?

Eldris EPR registration is a one-off annual fee per country — there is no monthly billing and no lock-in. You pay once per stream per year, and renewals are charged annually. Government, authority and scheme fees are passed through at cost with no Eldris margin.

How much does EPR registration in Hungary cost?

EPR registration in Hungary costs £740 for Packaging, £790 for WEEE and £655 for Battery with Eldris. Each is a one-off annual fee — there is no monthly billing. Every line includes the Authorised Representative appointment that non-EU sellers require; the MOHU EPR fee is passed through at cost.

Can I use my German or Austrian EPR number in Hungary?

No. Hungarian producer responsibility is a separate national registration with the NWMA under the MOHU concession. A German WEEE-Reg.-Nr. or an Austrian EAK number is not valid in Hungary. Eldris reuses your existing business data to file the Hungarian registration without a second onboarding form.

What is MOHU and the NWMA?

The NWMA (National Waste Management Authority, OHKT) keeps Hungary's EPR producer register, while MOHU is the single state concession holder that operates all waste collection and invoices the EPR fee since the 2023 reform. There are no competing schemes. Eldris handles both the NWMA registration and the MOHU account.

Do non-EU sellers need an Authorised Representative in Hungary?

Eldris publishes live EPR exposure data for Amazon's EU marketplaces. See the EU EPR Seller Compliance Index for the current foreign-producer share — under EU law every non-EU seller must appoint a Hungary Authorised Representative before they can register for EPR.

How long does Hungarian EPR registration take?

NWMA registration and MOHU account setup typically complete within 2 to 4 weeks once the Authorised Representative is appointed. Eldris submits your Hungarian applications within 48 hours of receiving your documents.
