EPR Registration
Italy
Selling on Amazon.it or eBay.it requires manufacturers and retailers to register for RAEE (WEEE), Battery, and Packaging (CONAI) compliance. Italy has rigorous reporting requirements and specific material categories for packaging that impact your total environmental costs. Eldris manages the full Italian compliance chain, ensuring your registration numbers are delivered ready for marketplace validation.

Mandatory Registrations for Italy
Most consumer electronics sellers entering the Italian market require three separate registrations: RAEE (WEEE) for the product itself, Battery EPR if the device is powered or contains a cell, and CONAI registration for all shipping and product packaging materials used to reach the Italian consumer.
Eldris Italian Service Fees
Eldris registers each Italian EPR stream for a one-off annual fee — there is no monthly billing. Every fee covers registration with the Italian RAEE register and CONAI, enrolment in an approved collective scheme, authorised-representative appointment, delivery of your RAEE number for Amazon, and the annual RAEE and CONAI declarations. Italy auto-bundles WEEE and battery where both apply, which is cheaper than buying them separately. Government and scheme fees are passed through at cost. The full per-stream pricing for Italy is shown in the pricing table below.
The CONAI Requirement
The CAC Contribution: Italy's packaging EPR is managed by CONAI. Producers must pay the Contributo Ambientale CONAI (CAC), which is calculated based on the specific material types and weight placed on the market. Rates vary significantly — plastic packaging faces higher rates than paper or cardboard.
Material Sorting: CONAI requires granular reporting across 6 material streams (Corepla, Comieco, Ricrea, etc.). Eldris handles the technical material mapping and ensures your CAC payments are accurate and audit-ready.
RAEE Registration (WEEE)
Italy operates under an 'Open Scope' rule, meaning almost all electrical equipment is covered. Registration is conducted through the Italian RAEE Register and requires membership in a collective scheme. Amazon.it validates these numbers against the national database. Eldris selects and manages your scheme membership to ensure seamless marketplace access. In 2026, Italy has updated its CONAI contribution rates with significant increases for plastic and composite packaging materials, and the Ministero dell'Ambiente has introduced stricter digital reporting requirements through an upgraded RAEE portal that mandates quarterly data submissions for high-volume producers.
Authorised Representative Requirements in Italy
Non-EU producers placing electrical equipment, batteries, or packaged goods on the Italian market must appoint an authorised representative established within the EU. The authorised representative is legally responsible for ensuring the producer's compliance with Italian EPR regulations. Eldris arranges authorised representative appointment as part of the Italian EPR compliance service.

What Eldris Handles for Italy
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.
Can I use my German WEEE number in Italy?
No. EPR registration is strictly national. Your German Stiftung EAR registration is not valid on Amazon.it. You need separate Italian RAEE registration and CONAI membership.
What is CONAI?
CONAI (Consorzio Nazionale Imballaggi) is Italy's national packaging consortium. All businesses placing packaged goods on the Italian market must join CONAI and pay the CAC material contribution.
How long does Italian registration take?
Italian RAEE and CONAI registration typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. Eldris initiates applications within 48 hours of your data submission.
Does Amazon Pay on Behalf cover Italy?
Amazon may collect estimated fees in Italy if you are non-compliant, but this does not give you your own registration numbers or satisfy the law. Direct registration through Eldris is the only way to hold your own compliance certificates.
What reporting is required?
Annual reporting of RAEE units and weight to your scheme, plus annual CONAI packaging declarations. Eldris prepares and submits all Italian reports for you.
Can I add Italy to my existing registration?
Yes. If you are already registered in another country with Eldris, adding Italy is simple. We reuse your company data, and Italy is charged as a one-off annual fee per EPR stream — there is no monthly billing. See the Italy pricing table above for the per-stream fees.
How many sellers face EPR obligations in Italy?
Eldris tracks live EPR exposure across Amazon's EU marketplaces. See the EU EPR Seller Compliance Index for current foreign-producer share — every non-EU seller listing in Italy needs a Italy Authorised Representative before EPR registration.
