EPR registration for EU marketplaces — every country, one provider
EPR registration is the producer registration EU law requires in every country where you sell, across three streams: packaging, WEEE (electronics) and battery. Eldris registers all three in 29 European countries from £200 as a one-off annual fee — no monthly billing — with the authorised representative included and registration completed in 2–8 weeks.

From 12 August 2026, packaging EPR is required in every member state under Regulation (EU) 2025/40 — non-EU distance sellers included. See our full PPWR guide for the deadline, the authorised-representative rule and 29-country packaging pricing.
What is EPR registration?
EPR registration is the per-country producer registration that extended-producer-responsibility law requires before you place packaged, electrical or battery-containing products on an EU market. Marketplaces verify the resulting registration numbers before allowing sales.
EPR registration covers three streams, each with its own national authority and registration number. Packaging EPR applies to virtually every physical product, because everything ships in packaging — registers such as Germany's LUCID issue the number marketplaces check, and from 12 August 2026 the PPWR makes this a duty in every member state. WEEE EPR applies to electrical and electronic equipment — anything with a plug, battery or circuit board. Battery EPR applies to products containing or sold with batteries. The obligation is national, not EU-wide: each country of sale needs its own registration, and non-EU sellers usually need an in-country authorised representative first. Eldris files all three streams in every market from a single onboarding, so one provider covers the entire footprint. Marketplace checks then run against those numbers at listing level, country by country, under EU market-surveillance rules.
How EPR registration works with Eldris
Three steps from scope to marketplace-ready numbers. No discovery calls, no consultants.
Tell us what you sell, and where
Pick your markets and product types. We derive which streams — packaging, WEEE, battery — apply in each country, including dependencies like Poland's packaging-before-WEEE rule.

An itemised quote per country and per stream, instantly — annual one-off, no monthly fees, government and scheme fees included with stated exceptions passed through at cost.
We file everything — 2–8 weeks
Eldris appoints the authorised representative where required, files with each national authority in parallel, and delivers your registration numbers ready for marketplace upload.
In practice the three steps compress the part of EPR that costs sellers the most time: discovery. The scoping step maps products to streams under each national law, so a phone case maps to packaging only, while a powered device adds WEEE and possibly battery registration. The quote step prices every required line from the published model — the same engine behind the pricing page — so the figure you approve is the figure invoiced, with no consultancy day-rates anywhere. The filing step then runs every country in parallel: authorised representative appointments first where a market requires one, national register submissions next, and compliance-scheme contracts alongside. Numbers land in your dashboard as each authority issues them, typically two to eight weeks after filing, ready for upload to Seller Central or any other sales channel that verifies them.
Price anchors: the six primary marketplaces
Annual one-off per stream, per country — generated from the same pricing model as your quote. We cover 29 countries in total; the cards below link to every one.
Italy registers WEEE + battery as a bundle (£1,190) when you need both. Spain packaging requires a Spanish NIF (one-off £200 if you hold none). Poland WEEE requires Polish packaging registration first. Every line includes the authorised representative where required. Full 29-country detail on the pricing page.
Reading the anchors against each other shows where budgets actually land. Germany is the cheapest packaging entry at £240 and the priciest WEEE line at £790, because the EAR registration carries the 10-tonne guarantee and authority fees inside the figure. France runs £385 packaging, £655 WEEE and £520 battery. Italy prices WEEE and battery at £870 each but collapses both into the £1,190 bundle whenever a seller needs the pair. Spain holds £520 packaging with £655 for WEEE and battery alike, the Netherlands is uniform at £255 across all three streams, and Poland pairs a £605 packaging line — £520 from year two — with £735 WEEE and £655 battery, the packaging line filing first because Polish law requires it. Renewal discounts exist only in Germany, France and Poland — every other anchor market renews at the year-one price.
Primary Markets
The six highest-volume Amazon EU marketplaces, with dedicated compliance guides.
The six cards above carry from-prices, meaning the cheapest registration line in that market rather than a flat rate — the figure a seller pays depends on which streams apply. Germany opens at £240 because packaging is its lowest line; France shows £375, the entry price of its toys and furniture streams; Italy starts at £535 for packaging; Spain at £520; the Netherlands at £255 for any stream; and Poland at £605, where packaging is required before any WEEE line. Click through for the full per-stream table, authority names and dependencies in each market. Non-EU sellers listing on these marketplaces usually also hold an EU Responsible Person under GPSR — a product-safety appointment that is separate from packaging or WEEE representation and is never a substitute for it — alongside the per-country EPR registrations these pages price.
All EU, EEA & UK Countries
Every country Eldris registers. Click through for country-specific pricing and requirements.
Each tile shows that country's lowest-priced line, so the figure is a floor, not a bundle, and clicking through opens the full per-stream price table for that country. The £250 tier covers Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Malta for packaging. Where a tile shows a higher figure, a different stream is the cheapest entry: Sweden's £335 and Denmark's £480 are battery lines, and Hungary's £655 is battery too, with packaging at £740. Norway appears at £1,190 because it is sold only as a combined WEEE, battery and packaging bundle, and the United Kingdom shows £200 for WEEE registration, with UK packaging quoted by tonnage. WEEE obligations across these markets trace back to the EU's WEEE framework, while packaging duties become universal on 12 August 2026 under the PPWR.
EPR registration: frequently asked questions
What is EPR registration?
EPR registration is the process of registering as a producer with the national extended-producer-responsibility authorities of each EU country where you sell, across three streams: packaging, WEEE (electronics) and batteries. Marketplaces verify these registration numbers before allowing sales.
Do I need separate EPR registration in each EU country?
Yes. EPR is a national obligation — selling on Amazon.de requires German registration, Amazon.fr requires French registration, and so on. There is no single EU-wide EPR registration, and from 12 August 2026 the PPWR extends this per-country duty to packaging in every member state.
How long does EPR registration take?
Registration typically takes 2–8 weeks per country, with filings run in parallel. The flow is: tell us your products and markets, see your exact one-off quote instantly, then Eldris files every registration and delivers the numbers to your dashboard.
How much does EPR registration cost?
Pricing is annual and one-off, per country and per stream — no monthly billing. Germany WEEE is £790 and German packaging (LUCID) is £240; smaller EU markets start from £200. Every registration includes the authorised representative where required, scheme membership, government fees (stated exceptions pass through at cost) and unlimited SKUs.
Do non-EU sellers need an authorised representative?
Yes. Non-EU sellers must appoint an in-country authorised representative before they can register for EPR in most markets, and under the PPWR a packaging authorised representative is required in each member state of sale from 12 August 2026. Eldris includes the authorised representative in every registration where required.
Which EPR streams apply to my products?
Packaging applies to virtually every physical product because it ships in packaging. WEEE applies to anything with a plug, battery or circuit board, and battery EPR applies to products containing or sold with batteries. Italy bundles WEEE and battery together (£1,190), and Poland requires packaging registration before WEEE.

Country selection follows three questions. Where do customers receive your parcels — every member state you ship into carries a packaging duty from 12 August 2026 under the PPWR, and several already require registration today. Where does your stock sit — fulfilment programmes that move inventory across borders, such as Pan-EU FBA, create producer obligations in the countries where inventory is stored, not only where it sells. And what do you sell — packaged goods alone trigger packaging EPR, while anything with a plug or a battery adds WEEE and battery streams in each market. Answer those three and the quote builder prices every required line in one pass, with the authorised representative, scheme membership and government fees included where required and the stated exceptions passed through at cost. No discovery call is needed at any point in the process.
