UK and EU compliance: plan them separately

Selling from the UK into Belgium is a cross-border route. A UK packaging registration does not replace a Belgian assessment. Identify the UK selling entity, any EU importer and whether the Belgian buyer is an end user or reseller. If you sell through both a marketplace and your own store, describe both routes. Northern Ireland or other special arrangements need a separate factual review rather than a blanket Brexit conclusion.

Prepare your UK-to-EU sales brief

Bring together your existing records before applying for new registrations:

  • UK records: keep the UK entity and domestic packaging records identifiable, with EU destination sales recorded separately.
  • Existing EU records: list each country, registered entity, packaging stream, scheme membership and reporting period.
  • Changed sales routes: flag a new importer, marketplace, warehouse or legal seller, and identify Northern Ireland arrangements for individual review.

Our UK seller registration review guide explains how to organise these records before deciding what needs updating.

Selling through Amazon, eBay, Zalando or bol?

Platform checks are a separate step from the underlying registration. Keep the platform notice and the issuing organisation’s evidence together. Use the guide that matches your channel: Amazon, eBay, Zalando or bol. Requirements depend on the country, category and request received.

Your preparation checklist

  1. Company registration and registered business address.
  2. Countries of sale, marketplaces and direct-to-consumer channels.
  3. Product categories, packaging materials, weights and annual country-level volumes.
  4. Existing EPR registrations, scheme memberships and mandates.

Belgium and your other EU markets

We can scope a Belgian engagement or an EU-wide plan. Each national registration and reporting route remains distinct. Service fees and external contributions are separated in the proposal.

PPWR representation and GPSR are separate

Any PPWR EPR mandate is scoped to the applicable producer-responsibility duties. GPSR product-safety and EU responsible-person support are separately scoped and quoted; neither appointment automatically covers the other.
