French EPR compliance from Turkey.

Turkey is a non-EU jurisdiction for French EPR. A Turkish Anonim Şirketi (A.Ş.) or Limited Şirketi (Ltd. Şti.) shipping packaged consumer goods to French addresses must designate a France-established mandataire REP. Our workflow is set up for Turkish textile, ceramics, food and consumer goods exporters who are highly active in France.

Why Turkey brands target France

Turkey is one of the largest non-EU suppliers to France, particularly in textile, ceramics, food, and home goods. Turkish exporters increasingly bypass French distributor middlemen and sell direct via Amazon France, Cdiscount, ManoMano. French EPR applies the moment they go direct.

Special considerations for Turkey sellers

EU-Turkey Customs Union context

Turkey is in the EU Customs Union (since 1995) — most industrial goods cross EU borders duty-free. This does NOT affect EPR — Turkey is still non-EU for environmental regulation purposes. French EPR fully applies.

Turkish-language document translation

Eco-organisms accept Turkish documents with English translation. We coordinate professional translation.

Refashion (textile) for Turkish apparel exporters

Turkey is the second-largest non-EU textile supplier to France after China. Turkish apparel and home textile exporters going direct to French consumers (Amazon FR, Shopify) fall under Refashion EPR for textile + Citeo/Léko/Adelphe for packaging.

Frequently asked questions

I export to a French wholesaler who then sells onward. Do I need EPR?

Usually no. If the French wholesaler takes title and is the importer of record, they are the French producer. You are an exporter to a French buyer, not a producer for French EPR purposes. Confirm with the contract.

My Turkish company supplies private-label products to French brands. Same answer?

Same logic. The French brand owner who places the products on the market under their brand name is typically the producer, not the Turkish OEM manufacturer.

Customs Union means no customs declaration. Does this affect EPR documentation?

No. EPR registration is independent of customs documentation. Even without customs declarations, the producer obligation triggers on first placing on the market.
