From United Kingdom to France.
One partnership, one French leg covered.
Post-Brexit, UK firms operate in a peculiar dual position, non-EU for French EPR purposes (treated identically to US LLCs) but with a long-established cross-border services tradition into France. Your UK VAT, customs and fulfilment portfolio already serves UK brands shipping to France. We provide the French EPR leg, removing the legal blocker that prevents your firm from directly being the French mandataire.
Three or four reasons French EPR ends up on your roadmap.
Questions United Kingdom-based firms ask us.
Post-Brexit, UK firms are non-EU. Does that change the partnership structure?
Not for us, we operate the same way regardless of partner location. For your UK clients shipping to France, Brexit changed everything: UK Ltd companies are now treated as non-EU producers for French EPR. They cannot use any "EU establishment" shortcut and must designate a France-established mandataire. Many UK firms discovered this in 2021-2022 when Amazon France started enforcing. The market is mature for you.
Our UK clients also need UK Packaging EPR (the Defra scheme rolling out from 2024). How does that interact with French EPR?
They are independent regimes. UK Packaging EPR (Defra, run via the Environment Agency) covers UK consumer packaging only; French AGEC covers French consumer packaging. UK packaging producers shipping to France need both, UK Defra registration AND French Citeo/Léko/Adelphe registration. We handle the French side; you presumably already handle the UK side or partner with a UK provider.
How does the British pound, euro and VAT mechanics work in invoicing?
We invoice the client in EUR directly, at the fixed annual fee per stream set in their written quote (entry price €190/year excl. VAT, one-time setup per stream and refundable deposit stated in the quote). Your partner fee, a referral fee, calculated on the setup fee we collect, for every stream opened for a producer you introduce (including streams added later), is paid in EUR on your invoice once we have collected; the annual fee is never shared. You continue invoicing your UK or US client in GBP / USD / EUR for the scope you deliver. Two clean invoice flows, no co-billing complexity.
Can our UK clients shipping to France also need PPWR Article 45 coverage in other Member States?
Yes, if they ship packaging to other Member States. PPWR Article 45 has been EU-wide since 12 August 2026, UK Ltd shipping to FR, DE, IT, ES needs a representative in each. We act as your authorized representative in France only. For other EU Member States, a separate authorized representative established in each country is required, that is outside our scope; we are building a partner program for the future.
