EPR registration for EU marketplaces — every country, one provider
EPR (extended producer responsibility) registration is the producer registration each country
requires before you sell packaged, electrical or battery products there. For Amazon and marketplace
sellers in 29 countries: the 27 EU member states, Norway and the UK. Eldris files your packaging, WEEE (electronics)
and battery registrations and delivers the numbers, with annual reporting included and the authorised
representative arranged where the law requires one. From £185 per country per year.
Average registration time runs from 1 week (Germany packaging) to 9–17 weeks (Greece), or 4–5 months for Spain packaging without a Spanish tax number. The clock starts when we have your documents and signed power of attorney.

PPWR · since 12 August 2026
Since 12 August 2026, packaging EPR registration has been required in every member state under
Regulation (EU) 2025/40
— non-EU distance sellers included. See our full PPWR guide for the rules, the authorised-representative duty 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 since 12 August 2026 the PPWR has made 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.
01 · Scope
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.
02 · Quote
See your exact one-off price
An itemised quote per country and per stream, instantly — annual one-off, no monthly fees, all annual reporting included; scheme and authority fees passed through at cost, never marked up.
03 · Registration
We file everything
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: average registration time runs from 1 week (Germany packaging) to 9–17 weeks (Greece), or 4–5 months for Spain packaging without a Spanish tax number, 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 (£1,230) when you need both. Spain packaging requires a Spanish NIF (one-off £395 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 £185, and Italy carries the heaviest WEEE line at £995 because the scheme's first-year joining fee and deposit sit inside the figure. Germany prices WEEE at £600 and battery at £355, the Stiftung EAR registration carrying the insolvency-proof guarantee and authority fees. France runs £295 packaging, £495 WEEE and £395 battery. Italy prices WEEE at £995 and battery at £960 but collapses both into the £1,230 bundle whenever a seller needs the pair. Spain holds £395 packaging with £495 for WEEE and battery alike, the Netherlands is uniform at £190 across all three streams, and Poland pairs a £450 packaging line with £555 WEEE and £495 battery, the packaging line filing first because Polish law requires it. None of these markets prices a renewal year differently: each line is a one-off annual payment, running for 12 months from the date that country is registered and renewing at the same figure, in year one and every year after.
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. On the current list that is Germany at £185 on Packaging, France at £285 on Toys and Furniture, Italy at £505 on Packaging, Spain at £395 on Packaging, Netherlands at £190 on Packaging, WEEE and Battery and Poland at £450 on Packaging. In Poland the packaging line is also a prerequisite: no Polish WEEE registration can be filed without it. 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 lowest floor across the EU and EEA is Germany at £185, with Netherlands and Luxembourg next at £190; Slovenia sits highest at £745. In 8 markets the cheapest way in is not packaging at all: France at £285 on Toys and Furniture, Malta at £335 on WEEE, Denmark at £365 on Battery, Greece at £450 on Battery, Sweden at £460 on Battery, Hungary at £495 on Battery, Slovakia at £555 on WEEE and Croatia at £655 on WEEE and Battery. Norway shows £355 for packaging on its own — there is no standalone Norwegian WEEE or battery line, so electronics and batteries come inside the £900 all-in registration, which carries the packaging line with them. The United Kingdom shows £150 for WEEE registration and £405 for packaging — but whether a UK obligation falls on you at all depends on how your goods reach UK customers, so we confirm that before registering anything. Every figure on this page is an annual one-off that renews at the same price. WEEE obligations across these markets trace back to the EU's WEEE framework, while packaging duties have applied in every member state since 12 August 2026 under the PPWR.

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 since 12 August 2026 the PPWR has extended this per-country duty to packaging in every member state.
How long does EPR registration take?
Average registration time runs from 1 week (Germany packaging) to 9–17 weeks (Greece). The clock starts when we have your documents and signed power of attorney. Spain packaging takes 4–5 months without a Spanish tax number (NIF). Each line on the pricing page shows its own average. Filings run in parallel. The flow is: tell us your products and markets, see your exact price 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, and renews at the same figure every year — no monthly billing and no renewal uplift. Germany WEEE is £600 and German packaging (LUCID) is £185; £185 is the cheapest single registration in the EU. Every registration includes filing with the authority and compliance scheme, the authorised representative where required, all annual declarations and reporting (including nil returns) and unlimited SKUs. Scheme memberships, authority fees and eco-contributions above any included allowance are passed through at cost, never marked up, and invoiced when the scheme or authority bills them.
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 has been required in each member state of sale since 12 August 2026. Eldris arranges the authorised representative in every registration where required, with its cost in the price (for Portugal packaging the representative's fee is passed through at cost).
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 (£1,230), and Poland requires packaging registration before WEEE.
One-off annual fees · no monthly lock-in
Not sure which countries you need?
Tell us what you sell and where, and Eldris returns a fixed, itemised quote across every
required EPR stream. See the full pricing page for every line and currency.
Country selection follows three questions. Where do customers receive your parcels — every member state you ship into has carried a packaging duty since 12 August 2026 under the PPWR. 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 included where required and all annual reporting included, and it lists the scheme and authority fees that are passed through at cost, never marked up. No discovery call is needed at any point in the process.
