What do I need to do?
Step 1. |
If you’re considered a producer of batteries, register in each EU member state or enter into a contract with an approved Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO). You can register now in the following EU member states (we’ll notify you when other EU member states open registration): France ( SYDEREP), Germany ( Stiftung ear), Italy ( Registro Pile e Accumulatori), Poland ( BDO), Spain ( Sede electrónica RII_PYA), and Sweden ( Naturvårdsverket). If you use drop-shipping or resell standalone batteries and batteries contained within a product, obtain the registration number(s) from your upstream supplier(s).
|
Step 2. |
Prove your compliance to Amazon by submitting your registration number(s) on the Compliance Portal for each EU member state where you have registered (once the portal is live in Q3-Q4 2024).
|
Step 3. |
Annually report your battery sales and pay eco-fees to the relevant EU authorities or PROs.
|
We’ll update you on country-specific EU Batteries requirements for EPR as EU member states confirm them, as well as how to submit your registration numbers and pay eco-fees on batter sales, by Q3-Q4 2024.
