French EPR compliance from India.

India is a non-EU jurisdiction for French EPR. An Indian Private Limited, LLP, OPC or sole proprietorship shipping packaged consumer goods to French addresses is a producer under Article L. 541-10 II and must designate a France-established mandataire REP. Our workflow accepts MCA Certificate of Incorporation and GST registration documents directly.

Why India brands target France

Indian brands in textiles, jewellery, beauty, food, and consumer electronics increasingly target France via Amazon FBA-EU and direct D2C. France is in the top-5 EU expansion markets for Indian SMEs.

Documents we need from a India company

Business registration

MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) Certificate of Incorporation. For LLPs: LLP Agreement + Form 17. For partnerships: partnership deed.

Tax / business identifier

Full document checklist with per-jurisdiction examples in our required documents page.

Invoicing & payment

We invoice in EUR. Indian Pvt Ltd companies receive in INR via international wire (LRS / advance payment for imports of services). RBI compliance handled by your bank — we provide the standard EUR invoice for your inwards documentation.

Special considerations for India sellers

GST + LUT context

Indian exports of services qualify for LUT (Letter of Undertaking) zero-rating under GST. Our invoice (EU B2B service) is outside the Indian GST chargeable scope. Your CA handles the inwards classification.

RBI / FEMA compliance for outward payments

Payment for foreign EPR services flows under LRS or Form A2 for the business entity. Your bank handles the FEMA reporting. We provide the invoice with our SAS registration details for the bank file.

India has its own EPR regime (E-Waste, Plastic Packaging)

India’s E-Waste (Management) Rules 2022 and Plastic Waste Management Rules cover Indian-sold products. They have no extraterritorial effect. French EPR is independent.

Frequently asked questions

Indian e-commerce exporters via Flipkart-MENA do not ship to France. Why would I need French EPR?

You would not, in that case. French EPR applies only if you place product on the French market. If your Indian e-commerce only ships within India or to non-France markets, no French obligation. If you expand to Amazon France FBA, French EPR applies from the first French sale.

I am an Indian importer of European goods who re-exports to India. Do I have French EPR exposure?

No. You are a French importer in reverse — the European entity that placed the product on the French market originally is the producer. Re-exporting from India to other markets does not create French EPR exposure for the Indian entity.

How does the Indian Companies Act CIN compare to other jurisdictions?

The CIN is functionally equivalent to the US EIN, UK company number, French SIREN, German Handelsregister number. Eco-organisms accept it as the producer’s primary identifier.
