Why foreign sellers need a French EPR representative
Three reinforcing pressures push every seller not established in France, EU or non-EU, to register quickly. For the broader regulatory map, see our EPR compliance complete guide.
August 2026 PPWR deadline
From 12 August 2026, every producer of consumer packaging not established in France, EU or non-EU, must appoint a French authorized representative, under PPWR Article 45.
French law obligation
L. 541-10 of the French Environment Code and the AGEC law require all foreign producers to register, declare annually, and pay eco-contributions. Fines up to €30,000.
Marketplace verification
Amazon FR, ManoMano, Cdiscount and most French marketplaces verify your IDU and suspend non-compliant sellers under L. 541-10-9.

Questions foreign sellers ask
Who must designate an EPR authorized representative in France?
+
Any producer or seller not established in France that places products in scope of a French EPR stream on the French market. This includes US, UK, Chinese, Swiss and Turkish brands, and also EU companies (German, Dutch, Danish, Spanish and others) with no French establishment: the trigger is establishment in France, not nationality. Amazon FBA sellers, D2C brands, dropshippers and TikTok Shop merchants are all in scope.
How much does EPR compliance in France cost with EPR Representative?
+
Three published tiers per stream: Light from €49/month (small producers under the eco-organism simplified regime, e.g. Citeo <10,000 UVC, Refashion <5,000 pieces), Standard from €199/month (mid-market), Volume from €349/month (high-volume single-segment). Setup €290-€1,290 per stream depending on complexity. Multi-stream discount up to −20% from the 2nd stream. Enterprise on quote for multi-entity groups, >€2M CA France, or multi-stream complexity (we are the France-established mandataire and we file French dossiers and French declarations only; we do not sign mandates or handle declarations outside France, where a separate authorized representative established in each Member State is required). Run the 60-second calculator for your exact price. The figures exclude eco-contributions paid directly by the producer to each eco-organism.
Which EPR streams do you cover in France?
+
All 19 official French EPR streams, for any producer without a French entity: household packaging (Citeo, Léko, Adelphe), graphic paper (Citeo, Léko), professional packaging (Citeo Pro, Léko Pro, Twiice), WEEE (Ecosystem, Ecologic, Soren), batteries (Batribox, Ecosystem), textile (Refashion), single-use wipes (Citeo Soin & Hygiène), furniture (Ecomaison, Valdelia, Valobat), toys (Ecomaison), sports & DIY (Ecologic, Ecomaison, Valobat), construction PMCB (Valobat, Ecominéro, Ecomaison, Valdelia), chemicals (EcoDDS, Ecopae, Pyréo), tyres (Aliapur, FRP, Tyval), lubricating oils (Cyclevia), medical sharps / DASRI (DASTRI), unused medicines (Cyclamed), tobacco (Alcome), pleasure boats (APER), and end-of-life vehicles (Recycler Mon Véhicule).
Does the authorized representative take legal responsibility for my EPR obligations?
+
No. Following the French Conseil d Etat ruling of 10 November 2023 (case 449213, EcoDDS), the EPR authorized representative acts in the name and on behalf of the producer under the standard civil mandate of the French Civil Code (Articles 1984 et seq.), without subrogation. The producer remains the legally obligated party. We handle registration, IDU, declarations and ongoing administrative liaison.
How long does French EPR registration take from application to IDU?
+
Apply through the wizard in about 3 minutes. We send a written scope and fixed quote within 24 hours. Once the civil mandate is signed electronically, we file your eco-organism adhesions: proof of registration is typically available within days, and the formal IDU is issued by ADEME via the eco-organism within 2 to 3 weeks. Starting before the PPWR Article 45 deadline of 12 August 2026 avoids the end-of-summer rush.
