Italian EPR, from source to control.

Article 1 under g names distance sellers established abroad, and article 1 under f makes placing on the market a first-placer test.

WEEE in the Netherlands: a separate regime

Electrical and electronic equipment has its own registration and costs. A packaging file never covers it.

Evidence

The duty that survives below the threshold

Article 5.2 of Annex 2 requires a producer relying on the allowance to record how it calculated that position and produce it on request.

Scope

Selling B2B to a Dutch importer or reseller

Thresholds

The allowance is pro rata, not a cliff

Crossing 50,000 kg does not make the first 50,000 kg payable. Article 2.3 of Annex 1 apportions the free kilograms across materials.

Regulation

What PPWR changed on 12 August 2026

Costs

What Dutch packaging actually costs in 2026

Marketplaces

What marketplaces ask for, and what that proves

Article 45(4) puts a verification duty on the marketplace. A platform label is not proof that a seller duty has been met.

Thresholds

The 50,000 kg threshold, explained properly

Below the limit there is no registration, no declaration and no contribution. It is counted in total, tested across a fiscal unity, and it is not a cliff.

EPR in the Netherlands: a practical guide for foreign sellers

A map of who counts as producer, the 50,000 kg allowance, what sits outside it and the evidence that has to survive below the threshold.

Scope

Deposit and single-use plastic ignore the threshold

Both are registered, declared and paid from the first unit, and single-use plastic carries a surcharge on top of the material tariff.
